Bug ID: 84137
Summary: Typo in gcov online documentation
Product: gcc
Version: 7.2.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: peter.klotz99 at gmail dot com
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
There is a typo on this page of the gcov online documentation:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Invoking-Gcov.html
It states:
"Unexecuted lines are marked ‘#####’ or ‘====’, depending on whether..."
It should be "=====" (five consecutive equal signs instead of four).
This simple test program shows that 5 is correct:
----------------------
int main()
{
int i=0;
try {
if (i==4)
throw 7;
}
catch (...) {
i=5;
}
return 0;
}
----------------------
