Bug ID: 89577 Summary: In the manual, replace -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage by the simpler --coverage Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: vincent-gcc at vinc17 dot net Target Milestone: --- The GCC manual Section 10 (gcov) https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Invoking-Gcov.html https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov-and-Optimization.html uses "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage" while the simpler option --coverage could be used instead (I also assume that --coverage may be better in general, as it generates the right option when linking). I suggest the replacement.
