Bug ID: 79392
Summary: MinGW-w64 backend: programs built with --coverage do
not create *.gcda files
Product: gcc
Version: 5.4.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: bnagaev at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
I believe that for GCC >= 5 with MinGW-w64 backend flag --coverage
doesn't work correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
* install Debian Stretch (testing)
* install gcc-mingw-w64 and wine
* compile the C program [1] with the command
i686-w64-mingw32-gcc --coverage a.c -o a.exe
* run `wine a.exe`
* file a.gcda was not created, but it is expected to
[1] the program a.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
if (argc >= 2) {
printf("argv[1] = %s\n", argv[1]);
}
return 0;
}
