    <p>.gcda is not generated by compiler; it's generated by your program when you execute it.</p> <p>.gcno is the file generated at compilation time and it is the 'note file'. gcc generate a basic block graph notes file (.gcno) for each CU(compiler unit).</p> <blockquote> <p>So how does main.gcda is generated?</p> </blockquote> <p>At running time the statistic data is gathered and stored in memory. Some exit callback is registered and is called to write the data to the .gcda file when the program terminates. This means if you call abort() instead of exit() in your program, no .gcda file would be generated.</p> <blockquote> <p>How the instrumentation is done? Can I see the instrumented code?</p> </blockquote> <p>You way need check gcc's implementation to get the details but basically the instrumentation is done by inserting instruction to the program to count the number of times each instruction is executed. But it doesn't really have to keep a counter for each instruction; GCC uses some algorithm to generate a program flow graph and finds a spanning tree for the graph. Only some special arcs have to be instrumented and from them the coverage of all code branches can be generated. You can disassemble the binary to see the instrumented code. And here are some files for coverage if you want to look into the gcc source file:</p> <p><em><strong>toplev.c coverage.c profile.c libgcov.c gcov.c gcov-io.c</em></strong></p> <p>edit: some known gcov bugs FYI:</p> <p><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49484">http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49484</a></p> <p><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28441">http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28441</a></p> <p><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44779">http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44779</a></p> <p><a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7970">http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7970</a></p>

    1. COThanks!! how did you trace those files for coverage?

    2. COi ever used gcov and encountered some issues so had to looked into its implementation. I added some known bugs fyi but they might be solved in recent gcc.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
