[Kai Zhu]

Can anybody show me a list of such tools so that I can pick up the tools
match my requirement.

There are no such tools defined by the C language, which means that
the question is not really topical here.

I would suggest you try or a Google search.

gcc has options to instrument the code and generate
line-by-line execution counts.

If anyone knows the Windows equivalent, I'd like
to hear it.

Well, you could try gcc...

Specific tools are off topic here, but the gcc suggestion was not a joke.

Just use gcc with the -pg operion and gprof for analysis. DJGPP,
MingW, and Cygwin will run gcc on winblows.

That's for profiling, not code coverage. The gcc options
for code coverage are -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage .
Then you use the gcov utility to analyze the results.

You're right. Thanks for the correction.
