Hey Ryan,
I am using GCC version 3.3.6. When I instrument my object files with
-fprofile-arcs and -ftest-coverage, the appropriate *.bb and *.bbg files
are created.
The object files are then linked together into a static library libfoo.a
with:
ar rcs libfoo.a foo1.o foo2.o
Finally, a series of static libraries are linked together to create my
executable with:
gcc -fprofile-arcs -o foo.o<static libraries get linked here, including
libfoo.a>
Now, when I run the executable, the *.da files are not getting created.
Is there a step that I am missing? Does anyone have any suggestions?
This question has been asking quite often on this mailing list so that I
finally added a new section to our GCC wiki FAQ about a possible and
most frequent root cause of your observation.
Please look at: http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#gcc_gcov_data_file_not_created
If this is not working for you or you still have questions, don't
hesitate to ask ...
Best regards,
Andi
