🫶 DESCRIPTION

okay so gcov-dump is a tool you can use alongside GCC to dump the content of gcda and gcno profile files offline 🔥 no cap, it's literally the main character of profile inspection 👑

💜 OPTIONS

  • -h, --help — okay this one's iconic: it shows you the help info about using gcov-dump (on the standard output) and then peaces out, no further processing ✨
  • -l, --long — dumps the content of records, so you get the full tea 🍓
  • -p, --positions — dumps the positions of records 🌈
  • -r, --raw — prints content records in raw format, no fancy filter 💀
  • -s, --stable — prints the content in a stable format that's usable for comparison, super useful when you wanna check two things side by side 🙈
  • -v, --version — shows the gcov-dump version number (on the standard output) and then it's bye bye, no further processing 🦋
