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.

â–¡ 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.
