Me and Matt have been unable to generate coverage reports, so I had a
look at the make cover targets. The actual problem were changes and a
regression in recent Devel::Cover versions, but there turned out to be
some more problems.
See branch nwellnhof/make_cover
Changes:
* Run gcov from build dir to make it find and include the source code
Currently, the .gcov files don't contain the source code because gcov
isn't run from the build directory.
* Make HTML report generated with Devel::Cover optional
This makes it possible to generate only the .gcov files for users
without Devel::Cover.
* Work around Debian bug #535755
* Pass -no-gcov to cover, we run gcov and gcov2perl ourselves
Currently, cover runs gcov and gcov2perl a second time, which is
unnecessary and fails with recent Devel::Cover versions.
* Set default database for quickcover to cover_db
We shouldn't generate the report directly in the build dir.
* Make quickcover run 'make test_core' to improve coverage
Improves coverage of quickcover at little extra cost.
* Use the same source directories for quickcover
Includes more source files at little extra cost.
Testers are welcome.
