Re: Help in modifying GCOV code
Quick response:
did you make sure
* that the gcov you are calling is the one in your PATH (echo $PATH)?,
otherwise in a default ubuntu install you just may just get the
default one from ubuntu, so call with /your-gcc-build-dir/bin/gcov
* that the gcov you are calling has a recent timestamp (ls)?
* did you call 'make install' after 'make' in gcc build?
e.g. in a 4.3.0 build tree my gcovs are like this
~/i/gcc-build$ find . -name gcov -exec ls -la '{}' ';'
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hbl hbl 64911 2007-09-02 23:36 ./stage1-gcc/gcov <- "make"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hbl hbl 84416 2007-09-04 00:48 ./gcc/gcov <- "make"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hbl hbl 84666 2007-09-04 00:46 ./prev-gcc/gcov <- "make"
-rwxr-xr-x 1 hbl hbl 84416 2007-09-13 20:50 ./bin/gcov <- "make install"
playing with gcov is fun ...
