Well, I've had mixed results trying this myself.

With the trivial SmallAndFast project, I get a good coverage
measurement on 5 lines of code in 1 source file:
http://my.cdash.org/viewCoverage.php?buildid=313323&status=3

With CMake itself, I get a bunch of *.gcda files generated in the
build tree, but the coverage info does not get communicated properly
via a ctest script sending to CDash. Looks like there's some issue
with ctest parsing of the gcov output using ctest 2.8.7 and clang on
the Mac and gcov 4.2.1:

$ gcov --version
gcov (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.1.00)

Looks like there's a problem somebody will have to fix before it will
work. Unfortunately, the gcov parsing code in ctest is a bit of a
tangle -- last time I was in there, I fixed some stuff up to work in a
MinGW environment, and it's not pretty. Also unfortunately, I don't
think I'll have the bandwidth to look at this myself in the near
future: anybody want to volunteer to take a look and submit a patch to
get this working...?


Thx,
David
