Keep per-test coverage with --coverage (roadmap step 4)feature/per-test-coverage
--coverage=DIR runs every attempt in a process of its own and keeps the
coverage of each test, for binaries built with LLVM source-based
coverage (Clang: -fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping) or gcov
(GCC: --coverage).
How it works:
- The scheduler gives each attempt a fresh worker, as --isolate does,
and sets LLVM_PROFILE_FILE and GCOV_PREFIX for it: the profile the
process writes at exit is then the coverage of that one test, in
DIR/profiles/t<index>-a<attempt>.profraw or a .gcov directory. Each
runtime reads its own variable, so no symbol of either runtime is
looked up: weak references would not pull them out of their static
archives, and Mach-O does not allow undefined weak symbols.
- A process that runs other tests first (bisection) writes beside the
profiles, never into one. The attempt records its profile, also in
the JSON results.
- The profiles of an earlier run are removed when the run starts,
because gcov adds to the .gcda files it finds.
- After the run, CoverageReport reads the last profile of every test:
llvm-profdata and llvm-cov (PATH, xcrun on macOS, or
CATCH3_LLVM_PROFDATA / CATCH3_LLVM_COV) export LCOV, gcov (or
CATCH3_GCOV) writes JSON next to a copy of the .gcno. The result is
DIR/coverage.json, the files, lines and branches each test reached,
and DIR/coverage.lcov for the whole run. Without the tools the
profiles stay and the run says so.
- --coverage with --in-process or --break is refused.
Tests: option parsing, LCOV reading and writing, gcov JSON, and an
integration test on CoverageFixture, a binary CMake builds with the
coverage flags of Clang or GCC: two tests reach different lines, each
map holds only its own, the LCOV report holds both, and a stale profile
of an earlier run is gone. Locally all 84 CTest tests pass with Clang,
and the coverage tests pass with GCC (built with
CATCH3_ENABLE_WERROR=OFF: Catch3 does not build with GCC's warnings as
errors, before and after this change).
CI: the Linux jobs install LLVM's coverage tools, a new job checks the
gcov path with GCC, and CATCH3_COVERAGE_REQUIRE_MAP turns a missing map
into a failure on Linux and macOS instead of a skip. MSVC has no
source-based coverage, so its builds skip those tests; the roadmap
lists step 4 as in progress until Windows with clang-cl is tested.
