.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBgcov-tool\fR is an offline tool to process gcc's gcda profile files.
.PP
Current gcov-tool supports the following functionalities:
.IP "*" 4
merge two sets of profiles with weights.
.IP "*" 4
read one set of profile and rewrite profile contents. One can scale or
normalize the count values.
.PP
Examples of the use cases for this tool are:
.IP "*" 4
Collect the profiles for different set of inputs, and use this tool to merge
them. One can specify the weight to factor in the relative importance of
each input.
.IP "*" 4
Rewrite the profile after removing a subset of the gcda files, while maintaining
the consistency of the summary and the histogram.
.IP "*" 4
It can also be used to debug or libgcov code as the tools shares the majority
code as the runtime library.
.PP
Note that for the merging operation, this profile generated offline may
contain slight different values from the online merged profile. Here are
a list of typical differences:
.IP "*" 4
histogram difference: This offline tool recomputes the histogram after merging
the counters. The resulting histogram, therefore, is precise. The online
merging does not have this capability \*(-- the histogram is merged from two
histograms and the result is an approximation.
.IP "*" 4
summary checksum difference: Summary checksum uses a \s-1CRC32\s0 operation. The value
depends on the link list order of gcov-info objects. This order is different in
gcov-tool from that in the online merge. It's expected to have different
summary checksums. It does not really matter as the compiler does not use this
checksum anywhere.
.IP "*" 4
value profile counter values difference: Some counter values for value profile
are runtime dependent, like heap addresses. It's normal to see some difference
in these kind of counters.

Compute the overlap score between the two specified profile directories.
The overlap score is computed based on the arc profiles. It is defined as
the sum of min (p1_counter[i] / p1_sum_all, p2_counter[i] / p2_sum_all),
for all arc counter i, where p1_counter[i] and p2_counter[i] are two
matched counters and p1_sum_all and p2_sum_all are the sum of counter
values in profile 1 and profile 2, respectively.
