llvm-cov - emit coverage information
|
||
|
====================================
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. program:: llvm-cov
|
||
|
|
||
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
|
||
|
:program:`llvm-cov` *command* [*args...*]
|
||
|
|
||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The :program:`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``\'s instrumentation
|
||
|
based profiling.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the program is invoked with a base name of ``gcov``, it will behave as if
|
||
|
the :program:`llvm-cov gcov` command were called. Otherwise, a command should
|
||
|
be provided.
|
||
|
|
||
|
COMMANDS

|
||
|
* :ref:`show <llvm-cov-show>`

GCOV COMMAND
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
:program:`llvm-cov gcov` [*options*] *SOURCEFILE*
|
||
|
|
||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
The :program:`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 :program:`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 :program:`llvm-cov gcov` expects to find them.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once you have generated the coverage data files, run :program:`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
|
||
|
^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -b, --branch-probabilities
|
||
|
|
||
|
Display conditional branch probabilities and a summary of branch information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -c, --branch-counts
|
||
|
|
||
|
Display branch counts instead of probabilities (requires -b).
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -f, --function-summaries
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show a summary of coverage for each function instead of just one summary for
|
||
|
an entire source file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: --help
|
||
|
|
||
|
Display available options (--help-hidden for more).
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -n, --no-output
|
||
|
|
||
|
Do not output any ``.gcov`` files. Summary information is still
|
||
|
displayed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -o=<DIR|FILE>, --object-directory=<DIR>, --object-file=<FILE>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Find objects in DIR or based on FILE's 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -u, --unconditional-branches
|
||
|
|
||
|
Include unconditional branches in the output for the --branch-probabilities
|
||
|
option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -version
|
||
|
|
||
|
Display the version of llvm-cov.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -x, --hash-filenames
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use md5 hash of file name when naming the coverage output files. The source
|
||
|
file name will be suffixed by ``##`` followed by MD5 hash calculated for it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
EXIT STATUS
|
||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
:program:`llvm-cov gcov` returns 1 if it cannot read input files. Otherwise,
|
||
|
it exits with zero.

SHOW COMMAND
|

------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
:program:`llvm-cov show` [*options*] -instr-profile *PROFILE* *BIN* [*-object BIN,...*] [[*-object BIN*]] [*SOURCES*]
|
||
|
|
||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
The :program:`llvm-cov show` command shows line by line coverage of the
|
||
|
binaries *BIN*,... using the profile data *PROFILE*. It can optionally be
|
||
|
filtered to only show the coverage for the files listed in *SOURCES*.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*BIN* may be an executable, object file, dynamic library, or archive (thin or
|
||
|
otherwise).
|
||
|
|
||
|
To use :program:`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 :program:`llvm-cov show` as a *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 :program:`llvm-profdata merge`
|
||
|
tool.
|
||
|
|
||
|
OPTIONS
|
||
|
^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -show-branches=<VIEW>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show coverage for branch conditions in terms of either count or percentage.
|
||
|
The supported views are: "count", "percent".
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -show-line-counts
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show the execution counts for each line. Defaults to true, unless another
|
||
|
``-show`` option is used.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -show-expansions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Expand inclusions, such as preprocessor macros or textual inclusions, inline
|
||
|
in the display of the source file. Defaults to false.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -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.
|
||
|
Defaults to true.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -show-regions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show the execution counts for each region by displaying a caret that points to
|
||
|
the character where the region starts. Defaults to false.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -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.
|
||
|
Defaults to false.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -use-color
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable or disable color output. By default this is autodetected.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -arch=[*NAMES*]
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specify a list of architectures such that the Nth entry in the list
|
||
|
corresponds to the Nth specified binary. If the covered object is a universal
|
||
|
binary, this specifies 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -name=<NAME>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions with the given name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -name-whitelist=<FILE>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions listed in the given file. Each line in
|
||
|
the file should start with `whitelist_fun:`, immediately followed by the name
|
||
|
of the function to accept. This name can be a wildcard expression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -name-regex=<PATTERN>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions that match the given regular expression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -ignore-filename-regex=<PATTERN>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Skip source code files with file paths that match the given regular expression.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -format=<FORMAT>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use the specified output format. The supported formats are: "text", "html".
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -tab-size=<TABSIZE>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Replace tabs with <TABSIZE> spaces when preparing reports. Currently, this is
|
||
|
only supported for the html format.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -output-dir=PATH
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specify a directory to write coverage reports into. If the directory does not
|
||
|
exist, it is created. When used in function view mode (i.e when -name or
|
||
|
-name-regex are used to select specific functions), the report is written to
|
||
|
PATH/functions.EXTENSION. When used in file view mode, a report for each file
|
||
|
is written to PATH/REL_PATH_TO_FILE.EXTENSION.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -Xdemangler=<TOOL>|<TOOL-OPTION>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specify a symbol demangler. This can be used to make reports more
|
||
|
human-readable. This option can be specified multiple times to supply
|
||
|
arguments to the demangler (e.g `-Xdemangler c++filt -Xdemangler -n` for C++).
|
||
|
The demangler is expected to read a newline-separated list of symbols from
|
||
|
stdin and write a newline-separated list of the same length to stdout.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -num-threads=N, -j=N
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use N threads to write file reports (only applicable when -output-dir is
|
||
|
specified). When N=0, llvm-cov auto-detects an appropriate number of threads to
|
||
|
use. This is the default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -line-coverage-gt=<N>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions with line coverage greater than the
|
||
|
given threshold.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -line-coverage-lt=<N>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions with line coverage less than the given
|
||
|
threshold.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -region-coverage-gt=<N>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions with region coverage greater than the
|
||
|
given threshold.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -region-coverage-lt=<N>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Show code coverage only for functions with region coverage less than the given
|
||
|
threshold.
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. option:: -path-equivalence=<from>,<to>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Map the paths in the coverage data to local source file paths. This allows you
|
||
|
to generate the coverage data on one machine, and then use llvm-cov on a
|
||
|
different machine where you have the same files on a different path.
