--- Comment #4 from Marco Castelluccio <mcastelluccio at mozilla dot com> ---
I suppose this is a regression caused by
https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/41da7513d5aaaff3a5651b40edeccc1e32ea785a.
Is it intentional?
Note that generating multiple files makes parsing slower, as lcov (or similar
tools) will need to 1) list the files generated; 2) open and parse them one by
one.
