#167 lcov/geninfo: Won't create branch coverage on Ubuntu 12.04.3 and higher (Desktop version)
With the release of Ubuntu 12.04.3, Ubuntu has set an additional environment
variable which influenced the output language of gcov. I. e, in a German
installation of Ubuntu the variable 'LANGUAGE' is set to 'de:en'. This leads to
an German output of gcov, in particular 'Zweig 0 wurde genommen' instead of
the expected 'branch 0 taken'.
Up until Ubuntu 12.04.2 it suffices to set 'LANG' to 'C' to prevent
none-english output. But with Ubuntu 12.04.3 the environment variable LANGUAGE
is set to '<current language="">:en' which superimposed the setting of 'LANG=C'.</current>
Attached you will find a patch to solve this problem. Apply the patch to the most current version of geninfo(commit: geninfo: fix --no-external not working with --initial (2013-08-02 07:29:20 +0000))
Fix added to repository. To be included in LCOV 1.11.
