I suppose you talk about "gcov". Actually, AFAIK, no. > Then what about execute valgrind with the target program and then gconv it > (with gconv option turned on during gcc compilation)? If you recompile your code for use with gcov, why would you use a Valgrind tool at all? What is the expected benefit? Perhaps I misunderstood your request: I never used gcov myself.
