Summary

  This release adds initial[1] support for code coverage analysis
  via the rcov library.

Acknowledgments

  Thanks to Mauricio Fernandez for helping me use rcov without its
  runner.

Details

  • Added initial[1] support for code coverage analysis, which can
    be enabled by setting the COVERAGE environment variable to a
    non-empty value before running a test.

      □ For example, you can run a test with the GPL Cver simulator
        while enabling the generation of code coverage reports as
        follows:

        export COVERAGE=1; rake cver

  • Coverage reports are generated in text and HTML formats.

[1] Full capabilites of the rcov library, such as its various
    analysis modes, are not yet utilized.
