Hi, While I'm waiting to be at home to test valgrind and covergrind, I browse the mail archive and I just found this almost 3 years old thread. Here are a few questions : - is covergrind still maintained (will the patch still apply)? - what does the "new output" look like (between beta1 and beta2)? -- Christophe-Marie Duquesne |

Reading my previous message again, I realize it may be good to give more information about what I'm looking for. Apparently, you can use valgrind to measure code-coverage (with the covergrind patch). I find this interesting, because you don't have to add special compilation options (well, you only need the symbols and it is preferable not to optimize, from what I understand). Since I did not got any answer, I'm assuming covergrind is no longer maintained. Anyway, if I'm wrong or if you know other patches that would do the same thing, please let me know. Cheers, Christophe-Marie Duquesne |

Maybe you should ask on valgrind-devel? |

I vaguely remember Covergrind, I think it is unmaintained. There is also Vcov: ssh://svn.valgrind.org/branches/VCOV But it also hasn't been worked on for some time and is probably also broken. Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnock%27s_Dilemma is worth reading, with respect to lack of answers on mailing lists. Nick |

I've wondered many times why isn't there any good coverage utility yet. good=that works with any debug executable Isn't it a great metric to be used? Why isn't there much involvement from valgrind maintainers? (just to know, i don't mean you should, of course) Do valgrind developers think that VCOV is the proper approach to the problem?
