[Valgrind-users] code coverage with Valgrind + Covergrind

[Lieske, R. <Rob...@ca...>]

Hi,

I want to compute code coverage with valgrind.
While callgrind and cachegrind (in conjunction with kachegrind) do
provide information about individual lines of code, they do not provide
metrices about code not covered. It is difficult to look at individual
files to find out, if the code is covered and how much that is.
I found at http://www.brainmurders.eclipse.co.uk/covergrind.html a tool
that could match my needs. It is provided as a patch to valgrind (seems
not to work with valgrind 3.3.0, but with 3.2.3). However it is not
possible to get the code of valgrind from
svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk as noted at
http://valgrind.org/downloads/repository.html. Doing so results in the
following error message:

$ svn co svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk valgrind
svn: Can't connect to host 'svn.valgrind.org': Connection refused

A Ping to svn.valgrind.org results in 100% packet loss. Is the server
down?

The tarball valgrind-3.2.3.tar.bz2 does not contain the autogen.sh file,
so covergrind does not get included in the make process. I installed the
autoconf package and tried some old autogen.sh file from
http://valgrind.cvs.sourceforge.net/valgrind/valgrind/, but this does
not work either (aclocal not found).

My box runs SuseLinux 9.3.

How can I get the stuff working?


TIA,
Robert

PS: Will also try out gcov with ggcov, but I'm not sure, if it works
with the directory structure of my projects source code. If you have any
hints, please let me know.
