Bug ID: 111038
Summary: The function summary in gcov
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: gejoed at rediffmail dot com
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
The GNU GCOV documentation talks about -f option :
-f
--function-summaries
Output summaries for each function in addition to the file level summary.
In my case, -f is used and I could see some lines with more than 100% use.
examples would be like :
Function abcd_func1'
Lines executed:140.00% of 5
Function 'efgh_func2'
Lines executed:56.25% of 16
File 'filename.c'
Lines executed:16.87% of 83
Creating 'filename.c.gcov'
Here , the abcd_func1 is shown to have 140% of 5 lines. How do we interpret
this ?
There were other cases of 800%, 1400% etc... Is it because of the number of
times hit during the execution cycle with the executable ?
Let me know.
Thanks!
