SYNOPSIS
llvm-cov command [
args...]
DESCRIPTION
The
llvm-cov tool shows code coverage information for
programs that are instrumented to emit profile data. It can be used to
work with
gcov-style coverage or with
clang\(aqs instrumentation
based profiling.
If the program is invoked with a base name of
gcov, it will behave as if
the
llvm-cov gcov command were called. Otherwise, a command should
be provided.

SYNOPSIS
llvm-cov gcov [
options]
SOURCEFILE
DESCRIPTION
The
llvm-cov gcov tool reads code coverage data files and displays
the coverage information for a specified source file. It is compatible with the
gcov tool from version 4.2 of
GCC and may also be compatible with some
later versions of
gcov.
To use
llvm-cov gcov, you must first build an instrumented version
of your application that collects coverage data as it runs. Compile with the
-fprofile-arcs and
-ftest-coverage options to add the
instrumentation. (Alternatively, you can use the
--coverage option, which
includes both of those other options.) You should compile with debugging
information (
-g) and without optimization (
-O0); otherwise, the
coverage data cannot be accurately mapped back to the source code.
At the time you compile the instrumented code, a
.gcno data file will be
generated for each object file. These
.gcno files contain half of the
coverage data. The other half of the data comes from
.gcda files that are
generated when you run the instrumented program, with a separate
.gcda
file for each object file. Each time you run the program, the execution counts
are summed into any existing
.gcda files, so be sure to remove any old
files if you do not want their contents to be included.
By default, the
.gcda files are written into the same directory as the
object files, but you can override that by setting the
GCOV_PREFIX and
GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP environment variables. The
GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP
variable specifies a number of directory components to be removed from the
start of the absolute path to the object file directory. After stripping those
directories, the prefix from the
GCOV_PREFIX variable is added. These
environment variables allow you to run the instrumented program on a machine
where the original object file directories are not accessible, but you will
then need to copy the
.gcda files back to the object file directories
where
llvm-cov gcov expects to find them.
Once you have generated the coverage data files, run
llvm-cov gcov
for each main source file where you want to examine the coverage results. This
should be run from the same directory where you previously ran the
compiler. The results for the specified source file are written to a file named
by appending a
.gcov suffix. A separate output file is also created for
each file included by the main source file, also with a
.gcov suffix added.
The basic content of an
.gcov output file is a copy of the source file with
an execution count and line number prepended to every line. The execution
count is shown as
- if a line does not contain any executable code. If
a line contains code but that code was never executed, the count is displayed
as
#####.
OPTIONS
NDENT 0.0
-a, --all-blocks Display all basic blocks. If there are multiple blocks for a single line of
source code, this option causes llvm-cov to show the count for each block
instead of just one count for the entire line.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-b, --branch-probabilities Display conditional branch probabilities and a summary of branch information.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-c, --branch-counts Display branch counts instead of probabilities (requires -b).
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-f, --function-summaries Show a summary of coverage for each function instead of just one summary for
an entire source file.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
--help Display available options (--help-hidden for more).
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-l, --long-file-names For coverage output of files included from the main source file, add the
main file name followed by ## as a prefix to the output file names. This
can be combined with the --preserve-paths option to use complete paths for
both the main file and the included file.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-n, --no-output Do not output any .gcov files. Summary information is still
displayed.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-o=<DIR|FILE>, --object-directory=<DIR>, --object-file=<FILE> Find objects in DIR or based on FILE\(aqs path. If you specify a particular
object file, the coverage data files are expected to have the same base name
with .gcno and .gcda extensions. If you specify a directory, the
files are expected in that directory with the same base name as the source
file.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-p, --preserve-paths Preserve path components when naming the coverage output files. In addition
to the source file name, include the directories from the path to that
file. The directories are separate by # characters, with . directories
removed and .. directories replaced by ^ characters. When used with
the --long-file-names option, this applies to both the main file name and the
included file name.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-u, --unconditional-branches Include unconditional branches in the output for the --branch-probabilities
option.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-version Display the version of llvm-cov.
NINDENT
EXIT STATUS
llvm-cov gcov returns 1 if it cannot read input files. Otherwise,
it exits with zero.
SHOW COMMAND
SYNOPSIS
llvm-cov show [
options] -instr-profile
PROFILE BIN [
SOURCES]
DESCRIPTION
The
llvm-cov show command shows line by line coverage of a binary
BIN using the profile data
PROFILE. It can optionally be filtered to only
show the coverage for the files listed in
SOURCES.
To use
llvm-cov show, you need a program that is compiled with
instrumentation to emit profile and coverage data. To build such a program with
clang use the
-fprofile-instr-generate and
-fcoverage-mapping
flags. If linking with the
clang driver, pass
-fprofile-instr-generate
to the link stage to make sure the necessary runtime libraries are linked in.
The coverage information is stored in the built executable or library itself,
and this is what you should pass to
llvm-cov show as the
BIN
argument. The profile data is generated by running this instrumented program
normally. When the program exits it will write out a raw profile file,
typically called
default.profraw, which can be converted to a format that
is suitable for the
PROFILE argument using the
llvm-profdata merge
tool.
OPTIONS
NDENT 0.0
-show-line-counts Show the execution counts for each line. This is enabled by default, unless
another -show option is used.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-show-expansions Expand inclusions, such as preprocessor macros or textual inclusions, inline
in the display of the source file.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-show-instantiations For source regions that are instantiated multiple times, such as templates in
C++, show each instantiation separately as well as the combined summary.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-show-regions Show the execution counts for each region by displaying a caret that points to
the character where the region starts.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-show-line-counts-or-regions Show the execution counts for each line if there is only one region on the
line, but show the individual regions if there are multiple on the line.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-use-color[=VALUE] Enable or disable color output. By default this is autodetected.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-arch=<name> If the covered binary is a universal binary, select the architecture to use.
It is an error to specify an architecture that is not included in the
universal binary or to use an architecture that does not match a
non-universal binary.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-name=<NAME> Show code coverage only for functions with the given name.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-name-regex=<PATTERN> Show code coverage only for functions that match the given regular expression.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-line-coverage-gt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with line coverage greater than the
given threshold.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-line-coverage-lt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with line coverage less than the given
threshold.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-region-coverage-gt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with region coverage greater than the
given threshold.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-region-coverage-lt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with region coverage less than the given
threshold.
NINDENT
REPORT COMMAND
SYNOPSIS
llvm-cov report [
options] -instr-profile
PROFILE BIN [
SOURCES]
DESCRIPTION
The
llvm-cov report command displays a summary of the coverage of a
binary
BIN using the profile data
PROFILE. It can optionally be filtered to
only show the coverage for the files listed in
SOURCES.
If no source files are provided, a summary line is printed for each file in the
coverage data. If any files are provided, summaries are shown for each function
in the listed files instead.
For information on compiling programs for coverage and generating profile data,
see
\%SHOW COMMAND.
OPTIONS
NDENT 0.0
-use-color[=VALUE] Enable or disable color output. By default this is autodetected.
NINDENT NDENT 0.0
-arch=<name> If the covered binary is a universal binary, select the architecture to use.
It is an error to specify an architecture that is not included in the
universal binary or to use an architecture that does not match a
non-universal binary.
