Here is how to use gcov to test code coverage in ldb.
-Step 1: enable gcov support
+Step 1: build ldb with gcov enabled
- Edit Makefile.ldb and uncommend the two GCOV_ lines
-
-Step 2: build ldb
-
- make -sf Makefile.ldb clean all
+ make clean all WITH_GCOV=1
Step 3: run the test suite
- make -sf Makefile.ldb test-tdb
+ make test-tdb
Step 4: produce the gcov report
- make -sf Makefile.ldb gcov
+ make gcov
Step 5: read the summary reports
less *.report.gcov
You can also combine steps 2 to 4 like this:
- make -sf Makefile.ldb clean all test-tdb gcov
+ make clean all test-tdb gcov WITH_GCOV=1
Note that you should not expect 100% coverage, as some error paths
(such as memory allocation failures) are very hard to trigger. There
