Its part of the GCC package from gnu. It's a nice Fortran compiler and the best part is it is free. If you've searched the web you know most Fortran compilers are pricey. The link above will let you access precompiled binaries for gfortran. The binaries are packaged as simple to install Mac.dmg files. No, I'm looking for gcov-tool to merge gcda files. Gcov can't merge them. Gcov is installed, btw, by default. Then, when I'll get merged set of gcda files, I will generate cobertura xml using gcovr, which is python wrapper over gcov. But for merging I need gcov-tool – Arkady Jun 30 '19 at 14:05. Gcovr User Guide ¶ Gcovr provides a utility for managing the use of the GNU gcov utility and generating summarized code coverage results. This command is inspired by the Python coverage.py package, which provides a similar utility for Python. The gcovr command can produce different kinds of coverage reports.
Many people share .gcov files without attaching instructions on how to use it. Yet it isn’t evident for everyone which program a .gcov file can be edited, converted or printed with. On this page, we try to provide assistance for handling .gcov files.

Naturally, other applications may also use the .gcov file extension. Even harmful programs can create .gcov files. Be especially cautious with .gcov files coming from an unknown source!
Can't open a .gcov file?
When you double-click a file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message:
Windows can't open this file:
example.gcov
To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. Windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select one from a list of programs that are installed on your computer.
To avoid this error, you need to set the file association correctly.
- Open Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations.
- Select a file type in the list and click Change Program.
The .gcov file extension is often given incorrectly!
According to the searches on our site, these misspellings were the most common in the past year:

- Uselcovto collect coverage data andgenhtmlto create HTML pages. Coverage data can either be collected from thecurrently running Linux kernel or from a user space application. To do this,you have to complete the following preparation steps:
- Compile the application with GCC using the options'-fprofile-arcs' and '-ftest-coverage'.
- Disable compatibility mode.
- Specify the location of the gcov tool.
- # appdir/test
- # lcov -a app_base.info -a app_test.info -o app_total.info
- Use this option if you want to get coverage data for the specified directoryonly without processing subdirectories.
- run lcov -c --from-packagefile[-o and other options]- The system-wide configuration file.
- lc (1) - Mono License Compiler
- lcdgps (1) - test clients for gpsd
- lcf (1) - Determine which of the historical versions of a config is installed
- lcg-infosites (1) - list grid service information matching given criteria
- lchage (1) - Display or change user password policy
- lchfn (1) - Change finger information
- lchsh (1) - Change login shell
- lckdo (1) - run a program with a lock held
For Linux kernel coverage:
Please note that this man page refers to the output format oflcovas '.info file' or 'tracefile' and that the output of GCOVis called '.da file'.
Also note that when printing percentages, 0% and 100% are only printed whenthe values are exactly 0% and 100% respectively. Other values which wouldconventionally be rounded to 0% or 100% are instead printed as nearestnon-boundary value. This behavior is in accordance with that of thegcov(1)tool.
OPTIONS
-atracefile
--add-tracefiletracefile
Specify several tracefiles using the -a switch to combine the coverage datacontained in these files by adding up execution counts for matching test andfilename combinations.
The result of the add operation will be written to stdout or the tracefilespecified with -o.
Only one of -z, -c, -a, -e, -r, -l, --diff or --summary may bespecified at a time.
-bdirectory
--base-directorydirectory
Use this option to specify the base directory of a build-environmentwhen lcov produces error messages like:
--compatmode=value[,mode=value,...]
Use --compat to specify that lcov should enable one or more compatibilitymodes when capturing coverage data. You can provide a comma-separated listof mode=value pairs to specify the values for multiple modes.
Validvaluesare:
on
Validmodesare:
libtool
Enable this mode if you are capturing coverage data for a project thatwas built using the libtool mechanism. See also--compat-libtool.The default value for this setting is 'on'.
hammerEnable this mode if you are capturing coverage data for a project thatwas built using a version of GCC 3.3 that contains a modification(hammer patch) of later GCC versions. You can identify a modified GCC 3.3by checking the build directory of your project for files ending in theextension '.bbg'. Unmodified versions of GCC 3.3 name these files '.bb'.The default value for this setting is 'auto'.
split_crcEnable this mode if you are capturing coverage data for a project thatwas built using a version of GCC 4.6 that contains a modification(split function checksums) of later GCC versions. Typical error messageswhen running lcov on coverage data produced by such GCC versions are'out of memory' and 'reached unexpected end of file'.The default value for this setting is 'auto'
--compat-libtool
--no-compat-libtool
Use --compat-libtool to enable libtool compatibility mode or --no-compat-libtoolto disable it. The libtool compatibility mode isenabledby default.
When libtool compatibility mode is enabled, lcov will assume that the sourcecode relating to a .da file located in a directory named '.libs' can befound in its parent directory.
If you have directories named '.libs' in your build environment but don't uselibtool, disable this option to prevent problems when capturing coverage data.
--config-fileconfig-file
When this option is specified, neither the system-wide configuration file/etc/lcovrc, nor the per-user configuration file ~/.lcovrc is read.
This option may be useful when there is a need to run severalinstances oflcovwith different configuration file options in parallel.
--convert-filenames
Use this option together with --diff to rename the file names of processeddata sets according to the data provided by the diff.
--difftracefiledifffile
Use this option if you want to merge coverage data from different source codelevels of a program, e.g. when you have data taken from an older versionand want to combine it with data from a more current version.lcovwill try to map source code lines between those versions and adjust the coveragedata respectively.difffileneeds to be in unified format, i.e. it has to be created using the '-u' optionof thedifftool.
Note that lines which are not present in the old version will not be countedas instrumented, therefore tracefiles resulting from this operation shouldnot be interpreted individually but together with other tracefiles takenfrom the newer version. Also keep in mind that converted coverage data shouldonly be used for overview purposes as the process itself introduces a lossof accuracy.
The result of the diff operation will be written to stdout or the tracefilespecified with -o.
Gcov For Mac Os
Only one of -z, -c, -a, -e, -r, -l, --diff or --summary may bespecified at a time.
-ddirectory
--directorydirectory
If you want to work on coverage data for a user space program, use thisoption to specify the location where the program was compiled (that'swhere the counter files ending with .da will be stored).
Note that you may specify this option more than once.
--external
--no-external
External source files are files which are not located in one of the directoriesspecified by --directory or --base-directory. Use --external to includeexternal source files while capturing coverage data or --no-external toignore this data.
Data for external source files isincludedby default.
-etracefilepattern
--extracttracefilepattern
Use this switch if you want to extract coverage data for only a particularset of files from a tracefile. Additional command line parameters will beinterpreted as shell wildcard patterns (note that they may need to beescaped accordingly to prevent the shell from expanding them first).Every file entry intracefilewhich matches at least one of those patterns will be extracted.
The result of the extract operation will be written to stdout or the tracefilespecified with -o.
Only one of -z, -c, -a, -e, -r, -l, --diff or --summary may bespecified at a time.
-f
--follow
-h
--help
Recommended procedure when capturing data for a test case:
1. create baseline coverage data file
-ksubdirectory
--kernel-directorysubdirectory
Use this option if you don't want to get coverage data for all of thekernel, but only for specific subdirectories. This option may be specifiedmore than once.
Note that you may need to specify the full path to the kernel subdirectorydepending on the version of the kernel gcov support.
-ltracefile
--listtracefile
Only one of -z, -c, -a, -e, -r, -l, --diff or --summary may bespecified at a time.
--list-full-path
--no-list-full-path
Use --list-full-path to show full paths during list operationor --no-list-full-path to show shortened paths. Paths areshortenedby default.
--no-markers
Gcov For Macbook
-otracefile
--output-filetracefile
Specify '-' as a filename to use the standard output.
By convention, lcov-generated coverage data files are called 'tracefiles' andshould have the filename extension '.info'.
--pathpath
Use this option together with --diff to tell lcov to disregard the specifiedinitial path component when matching between tracefile and diff filenames.
-q
--quiet
Do not print progress messages.This option is implied when no output filename is specified to preventprogress messages to mess with coverage data which is also printed tothe standard output.
--rckeyword=value
Use this option to specify akeyword=valuestatement which overrides the corresponding configuration statement inthe lcovrc configuration file. You can specify this option more than onceto override multiple configuration statements.Seelcovrc(5)for a list of available keywords and their meaning.
-rtracefilepattern
--removetracefilepattern
Use this switch if you want to remove coverage data for a particularset of files from a tracefile. Additional command line parameters will beinterpreted as shell wildcard patterns (note that they may need to beescaped accordingly to prevent the shell from expanding them first).Every file entry intracefilewhich matches at least one of those patterns will be removed.
The result of the remove operation will be written to stdout or the tracefilespecified with -o.
Only one of -z, -c, -a, -e, -r, -l, --diff or --summary may bespecified at a time.
--stripdepth
Use this option together with --diff to tell lcov to disregard the specifiednumber of initial directories when matching tracefile and diff filenames.
--summarytracefile
Note that you may specify this option more than once.
Only one of -z, -c, -a, -e, -r, -l, --diff or --summary may bespecified at a time.
-ttestname
--test-nametestname
Gcov For Macbook Pro
Specify test name to be stored in the tracefile.This name identifies a coverage data set when more than one data set is mergedinto a combined tracefile (see option -a).
Valid test names can consist of letters, decimal digits and the underscorecharacter ('_').
--to-packagepackage
Use this option if you have separate machines for build and test andwant to perform the .info file creation on the build machine. To do this,follow these steps:
On the test machine:
Gcov For C++
This works for both kernel and user space coverage data. Note that you mighthave to specify the path to the build directory using -b witheither --to-package or --from-package. Note also that the package datamust be converted to a .info file before recompiling the program or it willbecome invalid.
