Common program

gcovgcov is a tool you can use in conjunction with GCC to test code coverage in your programs.

How it works?

gcov● how often each line of code executes

● what lines of code are actually executed● how much computing time each section of code uses

How to use?

$ gcc -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage tmp.c$ a.out$ gcov tmp.cFile 'tmp.c'Lines executed:90.00% of 10Creating 'tmp.c.gcov'
