  Description     : Ggcov is a GTK+ GUI for exploring test coverage data 
produced by programs compiled with gcc


Ggcov is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2 with no

Call Graph Analysis

Apart from presenting graphically and interactively the same information as 
gcov, ggcov has one extra feature: call graph analysis. Ggcov calculates a call 
graph of all function calls known at compile time (i.e. excluding calls made 
through function pointers or C++ virtual function tables) and applies coverage 
data to this call graph. The result is that you can see how many times a 
function was called from various other functions.

The downside of call graph analysis is that ggcov needs to read and pick apart 
object files to get the call data. The code exists and works for i386 platforms 
with ELF executables only.

Ggcov is in a very early stage of development, but is already somewhat useful. 
It is known to work on i386/Linux; other platforms should work except that the 
call graph feature will not work..
