GCC manual and --coverage vs -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As documented, --coverage is a synonym for -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage
(when compiling).

Then why does the GCC manual use "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
instead of the simpler "--coverage"?

See, e.g.
