------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-01-11 01:56 -------
Coverage means -fprofile-arcs only while profiling means
-fprofile-generate/-fprofile-use. Coverage is only useful when you are looking
into GCC's sources to see what code is being used and how much.
Coverage is not useful for the normal user of GCC, only developers of GCC.
