It is called a macro processor because it allows -you to define \fImacros\fR, which are brief abbreviations for longer -constructs. -.PP -The C preprocessor is intended to be used only with C, \*(C+, and -Objective C source code. In the past, it has been abused as a general -text processor. It will choke on input which does not obey C's lexical -rules. For example, apostrophes will be interpreted as the beginning of -character constants, and cause errors. Also, you cannot rely on it -preserving characteristics of the input which are not significant to -C-family languages. If a Makefile is preprocessed, all the hard tabs -will be removed, and the Makefile will not work. -.PP -Having said that, you can often get away with using cpp on things which -are not C. Other Algol-ish programming languages are often safe -(Pascal, Ada, etc.) So is assembly, with caution. \fB\-traditional\fR -mode preserves more white space, and is otherwise more permissive. Many -of the problems can be avoided by writing C or \*(C+ style comments -instead of native language comments, and keeping macros simple. -.PP -Wherever possible, you should use a preprocessor geared to the language -you are writing in. Modern versions of the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler have macro -facilities. Most high level programming languages have their own -conditional compilation and inclusion mechanism. If all else fails, -try a true general text processor, such as \s-1GNU\s0 M4. -.PP -C preprocessors vary in some details. This manual discusses the \s-1GNU\s0 C -preprocessor, which provides a small superset of the features of \s-1ISO\s0 -Standard C. In its default mode, the \s-1GNU\s0 C preprocessor does not do a -few things required by the standard. These are features which are -rarely, if ever, used, and may cause surprising changes to the meaning -of a program which does not expect them. To get strict \s-1ISO\s0 Standard C, -you should use the \fB\-std=c89\fR or \fB\-std=c99\fR options, depending -on which version of the standard you want. To get all the mandatory -diagnostics, you must also use \fB\-pedantic\fR. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.IX Header "OPTIONS" -The C preprocessor expects two file names as arguments, \fIinfile\fR and -\&\fIoutfile\fR. The preprocessor reads \fIinfile\fR together with any -other files it specifies with \fB#include\fR. All the output generated -by the combined input files is written in \fIoutfile\fR. -.PP -Either \fIinfile\fR or \fIoutfile\fR may be \fB-\fR, which as -\&\fIinfile\fR means to read from standard input and as \fIoutfile\fR -means to write to standard output. Also, if either file is omitted, it -means the same as if \fB-\fR had been specified for that file. -.PP -Unless otherwise noted, or the option ends in \fB=\fR, all options -which take an argument may have that argument appear either immediately -after the option, or with a space between option and argument: -\&\fB\-Ifoo\fR and \fB\-I foo\fR have the same effect. -.PP -Many options have multi-letter names; therefore multiple single-letter -options may \fInot\fR be grouped: \fB\-dM\fR is very different from -\&\fB\-d\ \-M\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-D\fR \fIname\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-D name" -Predefine \fIname\fR as a macro, with definition \f(CW\*(C`1\*(C'\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-D\fR \fIname\fR\fB=\fR\fIdefinition\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-D name=definition" -Predefine \fIname\fR as a macro, with definition \fIdefinition\fR. -There are no restrictions on the contents of \fIdefinition\fR, but if -you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-like program you -may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protect characters such as -spaces that have a meaning in the shell syntax. If you use more than -one \fB\-D\fR for the same \fIname\fR, the rightmost definition takes -effect. -.Sp -If you wish to define a function-like macro on the command line, write -its argument list with surrounding parentheses before the equals sign -(if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells, so you will need -to quote the option. With \fBsh\fR and \fBcsh\fR, -\&\fB\-D'\fR\fIname\fR\fB(\fR\fIargs...\fR\fB)=\fR\fIdefinition\fR\fB'\fR works. -.Ip "\fB\-U\fR \fIname\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-U name" -Cancel any previous definition of \fIname\fR, either built in or -provided with a \fB\-D\fR option. -.Sp -All \fB\-imacros\fR \fIfile\fR and \fB\-include\fR \fIfile\fR options -are processed after all \fB\-D\fR and \fB\-U\fR options. -.Ip "\fB\-undef\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-undef" -Do not predefine any system-specific macros. The common predefined -macros remain defined. -.Ip "\fB\-I\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-I dir" -Add the directory \fIdir\fR to the list of directories to be searched -for header files. Directories named by \fB\-I\fR -are searched before the standard system include directories. -.Sp -It is dangerous to specify a standard system include directory in an -\&\fB\-I\fR option. This defeats the special treatment of system -headers. It can also defeat the repairs to -buggy system headers which \s-1GCC\s0 makes when it is installed. -.Ip "\fB\-o\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-o file" -Write output to \fIfile\fR. This is the same as specifying \fIfile\fR -as the second non-option argument to \fBcpp\fR. \fBgcc\fR has a -different interpretation of a second non-option argument, so you must -use \fB\-o\fR to specify the output file. -.Ip "\fB\-Wall\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wall" -Turns on all optional warnings which are desirable for normal code. At -present this is \fB\-Wcomment\fR and \fB\-Wtrigraphs\fR. Note that -many of the preprocessor's warnings are on by default and have no -options to control them. -.Ip "\fB\-Wcomment\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wcomment" -.PD 0 -.Ip "\fB\-Wcomments\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wcomments" -.PD -Warn whenever a comment-start sequence \fB/*\fR appears in a \fB/*\fR -comment, or whenever a backslash-newline appears in a \fB//\fR comment. -(Both forms have the same effect.) -.Ip "\fB\-Wtrigraphs\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wtrigraphs" -Warn if any trigraphs are encountered. This option used to take effect -only if \fB\-trigraphs\fR was also specified, but now works -independently. Warnings are not given for trigraphs within comments, as -they do not affect the meaning of the program. -.Ip "\fB\-Wtraditional\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wtraditional" -Warn about certain constructs that behave differently in traditional and -\&\s-1ISO\s0 C. Also warn about \s-1ISO\s0 C constructs that have no traditional C -equivalent, and problematic constructs which should be avoided. -.Ip "\fB\-Wimport\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wimport" -Warn the first time \fB#import\fR is used. -.Ip "\fB\-Wundef\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wundef" -Warn whenever an identifier which is not a macro is encountered in an -\&\fB#if\fR directive, outside of \fBdefined\fR. Such identifiers are -replaced with zero. -.Ip "\fB\-Werror\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Werror" -Make all warnings into hard errors. Source code which triggers warnings -will be rejected. -.Ip "\fB\-Wsystem-headers\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-Wsystem-headers" -Issue warnings for code in system headers. These are normally unhelpful -in finding bugs in your own code, therefore suppressed. If you are -responsible for the system library, you may want to see them. -.Ip "\fB\-w\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-w" -Suppress all warnings, including those which \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0 issues by default. -.Ip "\fB\-pedantic\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-pedantic" -Issue all the mandatory diagnostics listed in the C standard. Some of -them are left out by default, since they trigger frequently on harmless -code. -.Ip "\fB\-pedantic-errors\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-pedantic-errors" -Issue all the mandatory diagnostics, and make all mandatory diagnostics -into errors. This includes mandatory diagnostics that \s-1GCC\s0 issues -without \fB\-pedantic\fR but treats as warnings. -.Ip "\fB\-M\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-M" -Instead of outputting the result of preprocessing, output a rule -suitable for \fBmake\fR describing the dependencies of the main -source file. The preprocessor outputs one \fBmake\fR rule containing -the object file name for that source file, a colon, and the names of all -the included files, including those coming from \fB\-include\fR or -\&\fB\-imacros\fR command line options. -.Sp -Unless specified explicitly (with \fB\-MT\fR or \fB\-MQ\fR), the -object file name consists of the basename of the source file with any -suffix replaced with object file suffix. If there are many included -files then the rule is split into several lines using \fB\e\fR\-newline. -The rule has no commands. -.Ip "\fB\-MM\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MM" -Like \fB\-M\fR, but mention only the files included with \f(CW\*(C`#include\ "\f(CIfile\f(CW"\*(C'\fR or with \fB\-include\fR or \fB\-imacros\fR command line -options. System header files included with \f(CW\*(C`#include\ <\f(CIfile\f(CW>\*(C'\fR -are omitted. -.Ip "\fB\-MF\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MF file" -When used with \fB\-M\fR or \fB\-MM\fR, specifies a file to write the -dependencies to. This allows the preprocessor to write the preprocessed -file to stdout normally. If no \fB\-MF\fR switch is given, \s-1CPP\s0 sends -the rules to stdout and suppresses normal preprocessed output. -.Ip "\fB\-MG\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MG" -When used with \fB\-M\fR or \fB\-MM\fR, \fB\-MG\fR says to treat missing -header files as generated files and assume they live in the same -directory as the source file. It suppresses preprocessed output, as a -missing header file is ordinarily an error. -.Sp -This feature is used in automatic updating of makefiles. -.Ip "\fB\-MP\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MP" -This option instructs \s-1CPP\s0 to add a phony target for each dependency -other than the main file, causing each to depend on nothing. These -dummy rules work around errors \fBmake\fR gives if you remove header -files without updating the \fIMakefile\fR to match. -.Sp -This is typical output: -.Sp -.Vb 1 -\& test.o: test.c test.h -.Ve -.Vb 1 -\& test.h: -.Ve -.Ip "\fB\-MT\fR \fItarget\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MT target" -Change the target of the rule emitted by dependency generation. By -default \s-1CPP\s0 takes the name of the main input file, including any path, -deletes any file suffix such as \fB.c\fR, and appends the platform's -usual object suffix. The result is the target. -.Sp -An \fB\-MT\fR option will set the target to be exactly the string you -specify. If you want multiple targets, you can specify them as a single -argument to \fB\-MT\fR, or use multiple \fB\-MT\fR options. -.Sp -For example, \fB\-MT\ '$(objpfx)foo.o'\fR might give -.Sp -.Vb 1 -\& $(objpfx)foo.o: foo.c -.Ve -.Ip "\fB\-MQ\fR \fItarget\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MQ target" -Same as \fB\-MT\fR, but it quotes any characters which are special to -Make. \fB\-MQ\ '$(objpfx)foo.o'\fR gives -.Sp -.Vb 1 -\& $$(objpfx)foo.o: foo.c -.Ve -The default target is automatically quoted, as if it were given with -\&\fB\-MQ\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-MD\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MD file" -.PD 0 -.Ip "\fB\-MMD\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-MMD file" -.PD -\&\fB\-MD\fR \fIfile\fR is equivalent to \fB\-M \-MF\fR \fIfile\fR, and -\&\fB\-MMD\fR \fIfile\fR is equivalent to \fB\-MM \-MF\fR \fIfile\fR. -.Sp -Due to limitations in the compiler driver, you must use these switches -when you want to generate a dependency file as a side-effect of normal -compilation. -.Ip "\fB\-x c\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-x c" -.PD 0 -.Ip "\fB\-x c++\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-x c++" -.Ip "\fB\-x objective-c\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-x objective-c" -.Ip "\fB\-x assembler-with-cpp\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-x assembler-with-cpp" -.PD -Specify the source language: C, \*(C+, Objective-C, or assembly. This has -nothing to do with standards conformance or extensions; it merely -selects which base syntax to expect. If you give none of these options, -cpp will deduce the language from the extension of the source file: -\&\fB.c\fR, \fB.cc\fR, \fB.m\fR, or \fB.S\fR. Some other common -extensions for \*(C+ and assembly are also recognized. If cpp does not -recognize the extension, it will treat the file as C; this is the most -generic mode. -.Sp -\&\fBNote:\fR Previous versions of cpp accepted a \fB\-lang\fR option -which selected both the language and the standards conformance level. -This option has been removed, because it conflicts with the \fB\-l\fR -option. -.Ip "\fB\-std=\fR\fIstandard\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-std=standard" -.PD 0 -.Ip "\fB\-ansi\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-ansi" -.PD -Specify the standard to which the code should conform.

Mark it -as a system directory, so that it gets the same special treatment as -is applied to the standard system directories. -.Ip "\fB\-fpreprocessed\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-fpreprocessed" -Indicate to the preprocessor that the input file has already been -preprocessed. This suppresses things like macro expansion, trigraph -conversion, escaped newline splicing, and processing of most directives. -The preprocessor still recognizes and removes comments, so that you can -pass a file preprocessed with \fB\-C\fR to the compiler without -problems. In this mode the integrated preprocessor is little more than -a tokenizer for the front ends. -.Sp -\&\fB\-fpreprocessed\fR is implicit if the input file has one of the -extensions \fB.i\fR, \fB.ii\fR or \fB.mi\fR. These are the -extensions that \s-1GCC\s0 uses for preprocessed files created by -\&\fB\-save-temps\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-ftabstop=\fR\fIwidth\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-ftabstop=width" -Set the distance between tab stops. This helps the preprocessor report -correct column numbers in warnings or errors, even if tabs appear on the -line. If the value is less than 1 or greater than 100, the option is -ignored. The default is 8. -.Ip "\fB\-fno-show-column\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-fno-show-column" -Do not print column numbers in diagnostics.

This form is preferred to the older form \fB\-A\fR -\&\fIpredicate\fR\fB(\fR\fIanswer\fR\fB)\fR, which is still supported, because -it does not use shell special characters. -.Ip "\fB\-A -\fR\fIpredicate\fR\fB=\fR\fIanswer\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-A -predicate=answer" -Cancel an assertion with the predicate \fIpredicate\fR and answer -\&\fIanswer\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-A-\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-A-" -Cancel all predefined assertions and all assertions preceding it on -the command line. Also, undefine all predefined macros and all -macros preceding it on the command line. (This is a historical wart and -may change in the future.) -.Ip "\fB\-dCHARS\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-dCHARS" -\&\fI\s-1CHARS\s0\fR is a sequence of one or more of the following characters, -and must not be preceded by a space. Other characters are reserved for -future versions of \s-1GCC\s0, and silently ignored. If you specify characters -whose behavior conflicts, the result is undefined. -.RS 4 -.Ip "\fBM\fR" 4 -.IX Item "M" -Instead of the normal output, generate a list of \fB#define\fR -directives for all the macros defined during the execution of the -preprocessor, including predefined macros. This gives you a way of -finding out what is predefined in your version of the preprocessor. -Assuming you have no file \fIfoo.h\fR, the command -.Sp -.Vb 1 -\& touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h -.Ve -will show all the predefined macros. -.Ip "\fBD\fR" 4 -.IX Item "D" -Like \fBM\fR except in two respects: it does \fInot\fR include the -predefined macros, and it outputs \fIboth\fR the \fB#define\fR -directives and the result of preprocessing. Both kinds of output go to -the standard output file. -.Ip "\fBN\fR" 4 -.IX Item "N" -Like \fBD\fR, but emit only the macro names, not their expansions. -.Ip "\fBI\fR" 4 -.IX Item "I" -Output \fB#include\fR directives in addition to the result of -preprocessing. -.RE -.RS 4 -.RE -.Ip "\fB\-P\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-P" -Inhibit generation of linemarkers in the output from the preprocessor. -This might be useful when running the preprocessor on something that is -not C code, and will be sent to a program which might be confused by the -linemarkers. -.Ip "\fB\-C\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-C" -Do not discard comments. All comments are passed through to the output -file, except for comments in processed directives, which are deleted -along with the directive. Comments appearing in the expansion list of a -macro will be preserved, and appear in place wherever the macro is -invoked. -.Sp -You should be prepared for side effects when using \fB\-C\fR; it causes -the preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right. For -example, macro redefinitions that were trivial when comments were -replaced by a single space might become significant when comments are -retained. Also, comments appearing at the start of what would be a -directive line have the effect of turning that line into an ordinary -source line, since the first token on the line is no longer a \fB#\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-gcc\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-gcc" -Define the macros _\|_GNUC_\|_, _\|_GNUC_MINOR_\|_ and -_\|_GNUC_PATCHLEVEL_\|_. These are defined automatically when you use -\&\fBgcc \-E\fR; you can turn them off in that case with -\&\fB\-no-gcc\fR. -.Ip "\fB\-traditional\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-traditional" -Try to imitate the behavior of old-fashioned C, as opposed to \s-1ISO\s0 -C. -.Ip "\fB\-trigraphs\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-trigraphs" -Process trigraph sequences. -.Ip "\fB\-remap\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-remap" -Enable special code to work around file systems which only permit very -short file names, such as \s-1MS-DOS\s0. -.Ip "\fB\-$\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-$" -Forbid the use of \fB$\fR in identifiers. The C standard allows -implementations to define extra characters that can appear in -identifiers. By default \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0 permits \fB$\fR, a common extension. -.Ip "\fB\-h\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-h" -.PD 0 -.Ip "\fB\*(--help\fR" 4 -.IX Item "help" -.Ip "\fB\*(--target-help\fR" 4 -.IX Item "target-help" -.PD -Print text describing all the command line options instead of -preprocessing anything. -.Ip "\fB\-v\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-v" -Verbose mode. Print out \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0's version number at the beginning of -execution, and report the final form of the include path. -.Ip "\fB\-H\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-H" -Print the name of each header file used, in addition to other normal -activities.

The ``overall options'' allow you to stop this -process at an intermediate stage. For example, the \fB\-c\fR option -says not to run the linker. Then the output consists of object files -output by the assembler. -.PP -Other options are passed on to one stage of processing. Some options -control the preprocessor and others the compiler itself. Yet other -options control the assembler and linker; most of these are not -documented here, since you rarely need to use any of them. -.PP -Most of the command line options that you can use with \s-1GCC\s0 are useful -for C programs; when an option is only useful with another language -(usually \*(C+), the explanation says so explicitly. If the description -for a particular option does not mention a source language, you can use -that option with all supported languages. -.PP -The \fBgcc\fR program accepts options and file names as operands. Many -options have multi-letter names; therefore multiple single-letter options -may \fInot\fR be grouped: \fB\-dr\fR is very different from \fB\-d\ \-r\fR. -.PP -You can mix options and other arguments. For the most part, the order -you use doesn't matter.

When an arc is the only exit or only entrance to a -block, the instrumentation code can be added to the block; otherwise, a -new basic block must be created to hold the instrumentation code. -.Sp -Since not every arc in the program must be instrumented, programs -compiled with this option run faster than programs compiled with -\&\fB\-a\fR, which adds instrumentation code to every basic block in the -program. The tradeoff: since \f(CW\*(C`gcov\*(C'\fR does not have -execution counts for all branches, it must start with the execution -counts for the instrumented branches, and then iterate over the program -flow graph until the entire graph has been solved. Hence, \f(CW\*(C`gcov\*(C'\fR -runs a little more slowly than a program which uses information from -\&\fB\-a\fR. -.Sp -\&\fB\-fprofile-arcs\fR also makes it possible to estimate branch -probabilities, and to calculate basic block execution counts. In -general, basic block execution counts do not give enough information to -estimate all branch probabilities. When the compiled program exits, it -saves the arc execution counts to a file called -\&\fI\fIsourcename\fI.da\fR. Use the compiler option -\&\fB\-fbranch-probabilities\fR when recompiling, to optimize using estimated -branch probabilities. -.Ip "\fB\-ftest-coverage\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-ftest-coverage" -Create data files for the \f(CW\*(C`gcov\*(C'\fR code-coverage utility. -The data file names begin with the name of your source file: -.RS 4 -.Ip "\fIsourcename\fR\fB.bb\fR" 4 -.IX Item "sourcename.bb" -A mapping from basic blocks to line numbers, which \f(CW\*(C`gcov\*(C'\fR uses to -associate basic block execution counts with line numbers. -.Ip "\fIsourcename\fR\fB.bbg\fR" 4 -.IX Item "sourcename.bbg" -A list of all arcs in the program flow graph.

Use it in concert with \s-1GCC\s0 -to analyze your programs to help create more efficient, faster -running code. You can use \fBgcov\fR as a profiling tool to help -discover where your optimization efforts will best affect your code. You -can also use \fBgcov\fR along with the other profiling tool, -\&\fBgprof\fR, to assess which parts of your code use the greatest amount -of computing time. -.PP -Profiling tools help you analyze your code's performance. Using a -profiler such as \fBgcov\fR or \fBgprof\fR, you can find out some -basic performance statistics, such as: -.Ip "\(bu" 4 -how often each line of code executes -.Ip "\(bu" 4 -what lines of code are actually executed -.Ip "\(bu" 4 -how much computing time each section of code uses -.PP -Once you know these things about how your code works when compiled, you -can look at each module to see which modules should be optimized. -\&\fBgcov\fR helps you determine where to work on optimization. -.PP -Software developers also use coverage testing in concert with -testsuites, to make sure software is actually good enough for a release. -Testsuites can verify that a program works as expected; a coverage -program tests to see how much of the program is exercised by the -testsuite. Developers can then determine what kinds of test cases need -to be added to the testsuites to create both better testing and a better -final product. -.PP -You should compile your code without optimization if you plan to use -\&\fBgcov\fR because the optimization, by combining some lines of code -into one function, may not give you as much information as you need to -look for `hot spots' where the code is using a great deal of computer -time. Likewise, because \fBgcov\fR accumulates statistics by line (at -the lowest resolution), it works best with a programming style that -places only one statement on each line. If you use complicated macros -that expand to loops or to other control structures, the statistics are -less helpful\-\-\-they only report on the line where the macro call -appears. If your complex macros behave like functions, you can replace -them with inline functions to solve this problem. -.PP -\&\fBgcov\fR creates a logfile called \fI\fIsourcefile\fI.gcov\fR which -indicates how many times each line of a source file \fI\fIsourcefile\fI.c\fR -has executed. You can use these logfiles along with \fBgprof\fR to aid -in fine-tuning the performance of your programs. \fBgprof\fR gives -timing information you can use along with the information you get from -\&\fBgcov\fR. -.PP -\&\fBgcov\fR works only on code compiled with \s-1GCC\s0. It is not -compatible with any other profiling or test coverage mechanism. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.IX Header "OPTIONS" -.Ip "\fB\-b\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-b" -Write branch frequencies to the output file, and write branch summary -info to the standard output. This option allows you to see how often -each branch in your program was taken. -.Ip "\fB\-c\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-c" -Write branch frequencies as the number of branches taken, rather than -the percentage of branches taken. -.Ip "\fB\-v\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-v" -Display the \fBgcov\fR version number (on the standard error stream). -.Ip "\fB\-n\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-n" -Do not create the \fBgcov\fR output file. -.Ip "\fB\-l\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-l" -Create long file names for included source files. For example, if the -header file \fIx.h\fR contains code, and was included in the file -\&\fIa.c\fR, then running \fBgcov\fR on the file \fIa.c\fR will produce -an output file called \fIa.c.x.h.gcov\fR instead of \fIx.h.gcov\fR. -This can be useful if \fIx.h\fR is included in multiple source files. -.Ip "\fB\-f\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-f" -Output summaries for each function in addition to the file level summary. -.Ip "\fB\-o\fR" 4 -.IX Item "-o" -The directory where the object files live. Gcov will search for \fI.bb\fR, -\&\fI.bbg\fR, and \fI.da\fR files in this directory. -.PP -When using \fBgcov\fR, you must first compile your program with two -special \s-1GCC\s0 options: \fB\-fprofile-arcs \-ftest-coverage\fR. -This tells the compiler to generate additional information needed by -gcov (basically a flow graph of the program) and also includes -additional code in the object files for generating the extra profiling -information needed by gcov. These additional files are placed in the -directory where the source code is located. -.PP -Running the program will cause profile output to be generated. For each -source file compiled with \fB\-fprofile-arcs\fR, an accompanying \fI.da\fR -file will be placed in the source directory. -.PP -Running \fBgcov\fR with your program's source file names as arguments -will now produce a listing of the code along with frequency of execution -for each line. For example, if your program is called \fItmp.c\fR, this -is what you see when you use the basic \fBgcov\fR facility: -.PP -.Vb 5 -\& $ gcc -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage tmp.c -\& $ a.out -\& $ gcov tmp.c -\& 87.50% of 8 source lines executed in file tmp.c -\& Creating tmp.c.gcov. -.Ve -The file \fItmp.c.gcov\fR contains output from \fBgcov\fR. -Here is a sample: -.PP -.Vb 3 -\& main() -\& { -\& 1 int i, total; -.Ve -.Vb 1 -\& 1 total = 0; -.Ve -.Vb 2 -\& 11 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) -\& 10 total += i; -.Ve -.Vb 5 -\& 1 if (total != 45) -\& ###### printf ("Failure\en"); -\& else -\& 1 printf ("Success\en"); -\& 1 } -.Ve -When you use the \fB\-b\fR option, your output looks like this: -.PP -.Vb 6 -\& $ gcov -b tmp.c -\& 87.50% of 8 source lines executed in file tmp.c -\& 80.00% of 5 branches executed in file tmp.c -\& 80.00% of 5 branches taken at least once in file tmp.c -\& 50.00% of 2 calls executed in file tmp.c -\& Creating tmp.c.gcov. -.Ve -Here is a sample of a resulting \fItmp.c.gcov\fR file: -.PP -.Vb 3 -\& main() -\& { -\& 1 int i, total; -.Ve -.Vb 1 -\& 1 total = 0; -.Ve -.Vb 5 -\& 11 for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) -\& branch 0 taken = 91% -\& branch 1 taken = 100% -\& branch 2 taken = 100% -\& 10 total += i; -.Ve -.Vb 9 -\& 1 if (total != 45) -\& branch 0 taken = 100% -\& ###### printf ("Failure\en"); -\& call 0 never executed -\& branch 1 never executed -\& else -\& 1 printf ("Success\en"); -\& call 0 returns = 100% -\& 1 } -.Ve -For each basic block, a line is printed after the last line of the basic -block describing the branch or call that ends the basic block. There can -be multiple branches and calls listed for a single source line if there -are multiple basic blocks that end on that line. In this case, the -branches and calls are each given a number. There is no simple way to map -these branches and calls back to source constructs. In general, though, -the lowest numbered branch or call will correspond to the leftmost construct -on the source line. -.PP -For a branch, if it was executed at least once, then a percentage -indicating the number of times the branch was taken divided by the -number of times the branch was executed will be printed. Otherwise, the -message ``never executed'' is printed. -.PP -For a call, if it was executed at least once, then a percentage -indicating the number of times the call returned divided by the number -of times the call was executed will be printed. This will usually be -100%, but may be less for functions call \f(CW\*(C`exit\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`longjmp\*(C'\fR, -and thus may not return every time they are called. -.PP -The execution counts are cumulative. If the example program were -executed again without removing the \fI.da\fR file, the count for the -number of times each line in the source was executed would be added to -the results of the previous run(s). This is potentially useful in -several ways. For example, it could be used to accumulate data over a -number of program runs as part of a test verification suite, or to -provide more accurate long-term information over a large number of -program runs. -.PP -The data in the \fI.da\fR files is saved immediately before the program -exits. For each source file compiled with \fB\-fprofile-arcs\fR, the profiling -code first attempts to read in an existing \fI.da\fR file; if the file -doesn't match the executable (differing number of basic block counts) it -will ignore the contents of the file. It then adds in the new execution -counts and finally writes the data to the file. -.Sh "Using \fBgcov\fP with \s-1GCC\s0 Optimization" -.IX Subsection "Using gcov with GCC Optimization" -If you plan to use \fBgcov\fR to help optimize your code, you must -first compile your program with two special \s-1GCC\s0 options: -\&\fB\-fprofile-arcs \-ftest-coverage\fR. Aside from that, you can use any -other \s-1GCC\s0 options; but if you want to prove that every single line -in your program was executed, you should not compile with optimization -at the same time. On some machines the optimizer can eliminate some -simple code lines by combining them with other lines. For example, code -like this: -.PP -.Vb 4 -\& if (a != b) -\& c = 1; -\& else -\& c = 0; -.Ve -can be compiled into one instruction on some machines. In this case, -there is no way for \fBgcov\fR to calculate separate execution counts -for each line because there isn't separate code for each line. Hence -the \fBgcov\fR output looks like this if you compiled the program with -optimization: -.PP -.Vb 4 -\& 100 if (a != b) -\& 100 c = 1; -\& 100 else -\& 100 c = 0; -.Ve -The output shows that this block of code, combined by optimization, -executed 100 times. In one sense this result is correct, because there -was only one instruction representing all four of these lines. However, -the output does not indicate how many times the result was 0 and how -many times the result was 1. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.IX Header "SEE ALSO" -\&\fIgcc\fR\|(1) and the Info entry for \fIgcc\fR. -.SH "COPYRIGHT" -.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" -Copyright (c) 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. -.PP -Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim copies of this -manual provided the copyright notice and this permission notice are -preserved on all copies. -.PP -Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified versions of this -manual under the conditions for verbatim copying, provided also that the -entire resulting derived work is distributed under the terms of a -permission notice identical to this one. -.PP -Permission is granted to copy and distribute translations of this manual -into another language, under the above conditions for modified versions, -except that this permission notice may be included in translations -approved by the Free Software Foundation instead of in the original -English.
