28 /* CAVEAT: Coverage information files should not be parsed directly,
29 instead use `gcov --json-format`, which provides
30 machine-readable coverage information.
32 Note that the following file format documentation might be outdated.
34 Coverage information is held in two files. A notes file, which is
35 generated by the compiler, and a data file, which is generated by
36 the program under test. Both files use a similar structure. We do
37 not attempt to make these files backwards compatible with previous
38 versions, as you only need coverage information when developing a
39 program. We do hold version information, so that mismatches can be
40 detected, and we use a format that allows tools to skip information
41 they do not understand or are not interested in.
43 Numbers are recorded in the 32 bit unsigned binary form of the
44 endianness of the machine generating the file. 64 bit numbers are
45 stored as two 32 bit numbers, the low part first.
46 The number of bytes is stored, followed by the
47 string. Zero length and NULL strings are simply stored as a length
48 of zero (they have no trailing NUL).
50 int32: byte3 byte2 byte1 byte0 | byte0 byte1 byte2 byte3
51 int64: int32:low int32:high
52 string: int32:0 | int32:length char* char:0
53 item: int32 | int64 | string
55 The basic format of the notes file is
57 file : int32:magic int32:version int32:stamp int32:support_unexecuted_blocks record*
59 The basic format of the data file is
61 file : int32:magic int32:version int32:stamp record*
63 A filename header may be used to provide a filename for the data in
64 a stream of data to support gcov in freestanding environments. This
65 header is used by the merge-stream subcommand of the gcov-tool. The
66 format of the filename header is
68 filename-header : int32:magic int32:version string
70 The magic ident is different for the notes and the data files as
71 well as the filename header. The magic ident is used to determine
72 the endianness of the file, when reading. The version is the same
73 for both files and is derived from gcc's version number. The stamp
74 value is used to synchronize note and data files and to synchronize
75 merging within a data file. It need not be an absolute time stamp,
76 merely a ticker that increments fast enough and cycles slow enough
77 to distinguish different compile/run/compile cycles.
79 Although the ident and version are formally 32 bit numbers, they
80 are derived from 4 character ASCII strings. The version number
81 consists of a two character major version number
82 (first digit starts from 'A' letter to not to clash with the older
83 numbering scheme), the single character minor version number,
84 and a single character indicating the status of the release.
85 That will be 'e' experimental, 'p' prerelease and 'r' for release.
86 Because, by good fortune, these are in alphabetical order, string
87 collating can be used to compare version strings. Be aware that
88 the 'e' designation will (naturally) be unstable and might be
89 incompatible with itself. For gcc 17.0 experimental, it would be
90 'B70e' (0x42373065). As we currently do not release more than 5 minor
91 releases, the single character should be always fine. Major number
92 is currently changed roughly every year, which gives us space
93 for next 250 years (maximum allowed number would be 259.9).
95 A record has a tag, length and variable amount of data.
98 header: int32:tag int32:length
101 Records are not nested, but there is a record hierarchy. Tag
102 numbers reflect this hierarchy. Tags are unique across note and
103 data files. Some record types have a varying amount of data. The
104 LENGTH is the number of 4bytes that follow and is usually used to
105 determine how much data. The tag value is split into 4 8-bit
106 fields, one for each of four possible levels. The most significant
107 is allocated first. Unused levels are zero. Active levels are
108 odd-valued, so that the LSB of the level is one. A sub-level
109 incorporates the values of its superlevels. This formatting allows
110 you to determine the tag hierarchy, without understanding the tags
111 themselves, and is similar to the standard section numbering used
112 in technical documents. Level values [1..3f] are used for common
113 tags, values [41..9f] for the notes file and [a1..ff] for the data
116 The notes file contains the following records
117 note: unit function-graph*
118 unit: header int32:checksum string:source
119 function-graph: announce_function basic_blocks {arcs | lines}*
120 announce_function: header int32:ident
121 int32:lineno_checksum int32:cfg_checksum
122 string:name string:source int32:start_lineno int32:start_column int32:end_lineno
123 basic_block: header int32:flags*
124 arcs: header int32:block_no arc*
125 arc: int32:dest_block int32:flags
126 lines: header int32:block_no line*
128 line: int32:line_no | int32:0 string:filename
130 The BASIC_BLOCK record holds per-bb flags. The number of blocks
131 can be inferred from its data length. There is one ARCS record per
132 basic block. The number of arcs from a bb is implicit from the
133 data length. It enumerates the destination bb and per-arc flags.
134 There is one LINES record per basic block, it enumerates the source
135 lines which belong to that basic block. Source file names are
136 introduced by a line number of 0, following lines are from the new
137 source file. The initial source file for the function is NULL, but
138 the current source file should be remembered from one LINES record
139 to the next. The end of a block is indicated by an empty filename
140 - this does not reset the current source file. Note there is no
141 ordering of the ARCS and LINES records: they may be in any order,
142 interleaved in any manner. The current filename follows the order
143 the LINES records are stored in the file, *not* the ordering of the
146 The data file contains the following records.
147 data: {unit summary:object function-data*}*
148 unit: header int32:checksum
149 function-data: announce_function present counts
150 announce_function: header int32:ident
151 int32:lineno_checksum int32:cfg_checksum
152 present: header int32:present
153 counts: header int64:count*
154 summary: int32:checksum int32:runs int32:sum_max
156 The ANNOUNCE_FUNCTION record is the same as that in the note file,
157 but without the source location. The COUNTS gives the
158 counter values for instrumented features. The about the whole
159 program. The checksum is used for whole program summaries, and
160 disambiguates different programs which include the same
161 instrumented object file. There may be several program summaries,
162 each with a unique checksum. The object summary's checksum is
163 zero. Note that the data file might contain information from
164 several runs concatenated, or the data might be merged.
166 This file is included by both the compiler, gcov tools and the
167 runtime support library libgcov. IN_LIBGCOV and IN_GCOV are used to
168 distinguish which case is which. If IN_LIBGCOV is nonzero,
169 libgcov is being built. If IN_GCOV is nonzero, the gcov tools are
170 being built. Otherwise the compiler is being built. IN_GCOV may be
171 positive or negative. If positive, we are compiling a tool that
172 requires additional functions (see the code for knowledge of what
173 those functions are). */
