Bug ID: 102746
Summary: gcov returns 0 un erroneuos incovation
Product: gcc
Version: 12.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: chipitsine at gmail dot com
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
repro steps:
several source files (for example, two)
main.c:
void hello(void);
void main(void){
hello();
}
hello.c:
#include <stdio.h>
void hello(void) {
printf("hello");
}
..................
build with coverage (using master branch gcc)
gcc --coverage -o hello main.c hello.c
....................
execute
./hello
executing "gcov" in erroneous way
gcov "hello-hello.gcda hello-main.gcda"
hello-hello.gcda hello-main.gcno:cannot open notes file
hello-hello.gcda hello-main.gcda:cannot open data file, assuming not executed
No executable lines
however, exit status is "0"
$ echo $?
0
$
it is hard to identify error situation when exit status is "0". I beleive it
should be "1" under such circumstances
