.. llvm-cov command [args...] The 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\(aqs instrumentation based profiling. If the program is invoked with a base name of gcov, it will behave as if the llvm-cov gcov command were called. Otherwise, a command should be provided. NDENT 0.0 \%gcov \%show \%report \%export NINDENT llvm-cov gcov [options] SOURCEFILE The 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 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 llvm-cov gcov expects to find them. Once you have generated the coverage data files, run 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 #####. NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-b, --branch-probabilities Display conditional branch probabilities and a summary of branch information. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-c, --branch-counts Display branch counts instead of probabilities (requires -b). NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-f, --function-summaries Show a summary of coverage for each function instead of just one summary for an entire source file. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--help Display available options (--help-hidden for more). NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-n, --no-output Do not output any .gcov files. Summary information is still displayed. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-o=<DIR|FILE>, --object-directory=<DIR>, --object-file=<FILE> Find objects in DIR or based on FILE\(aqs 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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-u, --unconditional-branches Include unconditional branches in the output for the --branch-probabilities option. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-version Display the version of llvm-cov. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT

llvm-cov gcov returns 1 if it cannot read input files. Otherwise, it exits with zero. llvm-cov show [options] -instr-profile PROFILE BIN [-object BIN,...] [[-object BIN]] [SOURCES] The 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 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 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 llvm-profdata merge tool. NDENT 0.0

-show-line-counts Show the execution counts for each line. Defaults to true, unless another -show option is used. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-show-expansions Expand inclusions, such as preprocessor macros or textual inclusions, inline in the display of the source file. Defaults to false. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-use-color Enable or disable color output. By default this is autodetected. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-name=<NAME> Show code coverage only for functions with the given name. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-name-regex=<PATTERN> Show code coverage only for functions that match the given regular expression. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-ignore-filename-regex=<PATTERN> Skip source code files with file paths that match the given regular expression. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-format=<FORMAT> Use the specified output format. The supported formats are: "text", "html". NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-tab-size=<TABSIZE> Replace tabs with <TABSIZE> spaces when preparing reports. Currently, this is only supported for the html format. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-line-coverage-gt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with line coverage greater than the given threshold. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-line-coverage-lt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with line coverage less than the given threshold. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-region-coverage-gt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with region coverage greater than the given threshold. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-region-coverage-lt=<N> Show code coverage only for functions with region coverage less than the given threshold. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-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. NINDENT

llvm-cov report [options] -instr-profile PROFILE BIN [-object BIN,...] [[-object BIN]] [SOURCES] The llvm-cov report command displays a summary of the 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). If no source files are provided, a summary line is printed for each file in the coverage data. If any files are provided, summaries can be shown for each function in the listed files if the -show-functions option is enabled. For information on compiling programs for coverage and generating profile data, see \%SHOW COMMAND. NDENT 0.0

-use-color[=VALUE] Enable or disable color output. By default this is autodetected. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-arch=<name> If the covered binary is a universal binary, select 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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-show-functions Show coverage summaries for each function. Defaults to false. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-show-instantiation-summary Show statistics for all function instantiations. Defaults to false. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-ignore-filename-regex=<PATTERN> Skip source code files with file paths that match the given regular expression. NINDENT

llvm-cov export [options] -instr-profile PROFILE BIN [-object BIN,...] [[-object BIN]] [SOURCES] The llvm-cov export command exports coverage data of the binaries BIN,... using the profile data PROFILE in either JSON or lcov trace file format. When exporting JSON, the regions, functions, expansions, and summaries of the coverage data will be exported. When exporting an lcov trace file, the line-based coverage and summaries will be exported. The exported data can optionally be filtered to only export the coverage for the files listed in SOURCES. For information on compiling programs for coverage and generating profile data, see \%SHOW COMMAND. NDENT 0.0

-arch=<name> If the covered binary is a universal binary, select 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. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-format=<FORMAT> Use the specified output format. The supported formats are: "text" (JSON), "lcov". NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-summary-only Export only summary information for each file in the coverage data. This mode will not export coverage information for smaller units such as individual functions or regions. The result will contain the same information as produced by the llvm-cov report command, but presented in JSON or lcov format rather than text. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

-ignore-filename-regex=<PATTERN> Skip source code files with file paths that match the given regular expression. NDENT 7.0

-skip-expansions NINDENT Skip exporting macro expansion coverage data. NDENT 7.0

-skip-functions NINDENT Skip exporting per-function coverage data. NDENT 7.0

-num-threads=N, -j=N NINDENT Use N threads to export coverage data. When N=0, llvm-cov auto-detects an appropriate number of threads to use. This is the default. NINDENT
