10

DESCRIPTION

12       Convert gcov files to Devel::Cover databases.
13

OPTIONS

15       The following command line options are supported:
16
17        -db database    - specify the database to use
18
19        -h -help        - show help

21        -v -version     - show version
22

DETAILS

24       To obtain coverage of XS files they must first be compiled with the
25       appropriate options.  In a standard Makefile environment, such as that
26       created by ExtUtils::MakeMaker, this can be accomplished with the
27       command:
28
29        HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover make test \
30          CCFLAGS=-O0\ -fprofile-arcs\ -ftest-coverage \
31          OTHERLDFLAGS=-fprofile-arcs\ -ftest-coverage
32
33       If you have already built your object files it may be necessary to run
34       make clean first, or to find some other way to ensure that they get
35       rebuilt with the options gcov requires.
36
37       Now the code coverage data has been collected "gcov" needs to be run:
38
39        gcov Mylib.xs
40
41       This will create one or more gcov files on which you can run
42       "gcov2perl":
43
44        gcov2perl Mylib.xs.gcov
45
46       Finally, "cover" should be run as usual with any options required:
47
48        cover
49
50       If you are running everything with standard options, you can do all
51       this with one command:
52
53        cover -test
54

EXIT STATUS

56       The following exit values are returned:
57
58        0   All files converted successfully
59        >0  An error occurred.
