.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
\&\fBgcov-tool\fR is an offline tool to process gcc's gcda profile files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Current gcov-tool supports the following functionalities:
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
merge two sets of profiles with weights.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
read one set of profile and rewrite profile contents. One can scale or
|
|
normalize the count values.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Examples of the use cases for this tool are:
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
Collect the profiles for different set of inputs, and use this tool to merge
|
|
them. One can specify the weight to factor in the relative importance of
|
|
each input.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
Rewrite the profile after removing a subset of the gcda files, while maintaining
|
|
the consistency of the summary and the histogram.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
It can also be used to debug or libgcov code as the tools shares the majority
|
|
code as the runtime library.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that for the merging operation, this profile generated offline may
|
|
contain slight different values from the online merged profile. Here are
|
|
a list of typical differences:
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
histogram difference: This offline tool recomputes the histogram after merging
|
|
the counters. The resulting histogram, therefore, is precise. The online
|
|
merging does not have this capability \*(-- the histogram is merged from two
|
|
histograms and the result is an approximation.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
summary checksum difference: Summary checksum uses a \s-1CRC32\s0 operation. The value
|
|
depends on the link list order of gcov-info objects. This order is different in
|
|
gcov-tool from that in the online merge. It's expected to have different
|
|
summary checksums. It does not really matter as the compiler does not use this
|
|
checksum anywhere.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
value profile counter values difference: Some counter values for value profile
|
|
are runtime dependent, like heap addresses. It's normal to see some difference
|
|
in these kind of counters.
