[lldb-dev] Code Coverage with GCOV

[Vedant Kumar via lldb-dev]

Is it possible that the files are written to an unexpected directory? Have you
tried running the program under strace/dtruss to conclusively determine whether
or not the files are being written? Could you try running lldb-server in lldb
and setting a breakpoint on `llvm_gcda_start_file'?

The host side does generate the gcov files although. The lldb-server does generate the gcov files if it is started in Standalone mode but it does not generate the gcov files if started by LLDB. Has anyone tried this already ? How can I get Code Coverage for lldb / lldb-server on Linux ?
