For each +source file compiled with <samp>-fprofile-arcs</samp>, an accompanying <samp>.gcda</samp> +file will be placed in the object file directory. That implicitly requires +running the program on the same system as it was built or having the same +absolute directory structure on the target system. The program will try +to create the needed directory structure, if it is not already present. +</p> +<p>To support cross-profiling, a program compiled with <samp>-fprofile-arcs</samp> +can relocate the data files based on two environment variables: +</p> +<ul> +<li> GCOV_PREFIX contains the prefix to add to the absolute paths +in the object file. Prefix can be absolute, or relative. The +default is no prefix. + +</li><li> GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP indicates the how many initial directory names to strip off +the hardwired absolute paths. Default value is 0. + +<p><em>Note:</em> If GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP is set without GCOV_PREFIX is undefined, + then a relative path is made out of the hardwired absolute paths. +</p></li></ul> + +<p>For example, if the object file <samp>/user/build/foo.o</samp> was built with +<samp>-fprofile-arcs</samp>, the final executable will try to create the data file +<samp>/user/build/foo.gcda</samp> when running on the target system. This will +fail if the corresponding directory does not exist and it is unable to create +it. This can be overcome by, for example, setting the environment as +‘<samp>GCOV_PREFIX=/target/run</samp>’ and ‘<samp>GCOV_PREFIX_STRIP=1</samp>’. Such a +setting will name the data file <samp>/target/run/build/foo.gcda</samp>. +</p> +<p>You must move the data files to the expected directory tree in order to +use them for profile directed optimizations (<samp>-fprofile-use</samp>), or to +use the <code>gcov</code> tool. +</p> +<hr> +<div class="header"> +<p> +Next: <a href="Freestanding-Environments.html#Freestanding-Environments" accesskey="n" rel="next">Freestanding Environments</a>, Previous: <a href="Gcov-Data-Files.html#Gcov-Data-Files" accesskey="p" rel="previous">Gcov Data Files</a>, Up: <a href="Gcov.html#Gcov" accesskey="u" rel="up">Gcov</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Indices.html#Indices" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> +</div> + + + +</body> +</html> |
