           Summary: [GCOV] Should treat .h files exactly as .C files: should
                    count usage per/file, not per .C module
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org

We have large project, .h files included from many .C modules.
After gcov -l runs we have to merge numerous gcov files from
numerous .Cs corresponding to the same header.

I am sure that anyone who has many inline or other functions in .h
have same problem and has to write scripts to extract real coverage results
from gcov runs for headers.
