Bug ID: 97193
Summary: .gcno files are not written to same directory as the
object file
Product: gcc
Version: 9.3.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: mario at klebsch dot de
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
According to https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov-Data-Files.html, the .gcno
files should be written to the same directory as the object files.
> The .gcno files are placed in the same directory as the object file.
This seems to work with gcc 8.3.0 but does not work with gcc 9.3.0:
