+Introduction
+============
+
+LLVM's code coverage mapping format is used to provide code coverage
+analysis using LLVM's and Clang's instrumenation based profiling
+(Clang's ``-fprofile-instr-generate`` option).
+
+This document is aimed at those who use LLVM's code coverage mapping to provide
+code coverage analysis for their own programs, and for those who would like
+to know how it works under the hood. A prior knowledge of how Clang's profile
+guided optimization works is useful, but not required.
+
+We start by showing how to use LLVM and Clang for code coverage analysis,
+then we briefly desribe LLVM's code coverage mapping format and the
+way that Clang and LLVM's code coverage tool work with this format. After
+the basics are down, more advanced features of the coverage mapping format
+are discussed - such as the data structures, LLVM IR representation and
+the binary encoding.
+
+Quick Start
+===========
+
+Here's a short story that describes how to generate code coverage overview
+for a sample source file called *test.c*.
+
+* First, compile an instrumented version of your program using Clang's
+  ``-fprofile-instr-generate`` option with the additional ``-fcoverage-mapping``
+  option:
+
+  ``clang -o test -fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping test.c``
+* Then, run the instrumented binary. The runtime will produce a file called
+  *default.profraw* containing the raw profile instrumentation data:
+
+  ``./test``
+* After that, merge the profile data using the *llvm-profdata* tool:
+
+  ``llvm-profdata merge -o test.profdata default.profraw``
+* Finally, run LLVM's code coverage tool (*llvm-cov*) to produce the code
+  coverage overview for the sample source file:
+
+  ``llvm-cov show ./test -instr-profile=test.profdata test.c``
+
+High Level Overview
+===================
+
+LLVM's code coverage mapping format is designed to be a self contained
+data format, that can be embedded into the LLVM IR and object files.
+It's described in this document as a **mapping** format because its goal is
+to store the data that is required for a code coverage tool to map between
+the specific source ranges in a file and the execution counts obtained
+after running the instrumented version of the program.
+
+The mapping data is used in two places in the code coverage process:
+
+1. When clang compiles a source file with ``-fcoverage-mapping``, it
+   generates the mapping information that describes the mapping between the
+   source ranges and the profiling instrumentation counters.
+   This information gets embedded into the LLVM IR and conveniently
+   ends up in the final executable file when the program is linked.
+
+2. It is also used by *llvm-cov* - the mapping information is extracted from an
+   object file and is used to associate the execution counts (the values of the
+   profile instrumentation counters), and the source ranges in a file.
+   After that, the tool is able to generate various code coverage reports
+   for the program.
+
+The coverage mapping format aims to be a "universal format" that would be
+suitable for usage by any frontend, and not just by Clang. It also aims to
+provide the frontend the possibility of generating the minimal coverage mapping
+data in order to reduce the size of the IR and object files - for example,
+instead of emitting mapping information for each statement in a function, the
+frontend is allowed to group the statements with the same execution count into
+regions of code, and emit the mapping information only for those regions.
+
+Advanced Concepts
+=================
+
+The remainder of this guide is meant to give you insight into the way the
+coverage mapping format works.
+
+The coverage mapping format operates on a per-function level as the
+profile instrumentation counters are associated with a specific function.
+For each function that requires code coverage, the frontend has to create
+coverage mapping data that can map between the source code ranges and
+the profile instrumentation counters for that function.
+
+Mapping Region
+--------------
+
+The function's coverage mapping data contains an array of mapping regions.
+A mapping region stores the `source code range`_ that is covered by this region,
+the `file id <coverage file id_>`_, the `coverage mapping counter`_ and
+the region's kind.
+There are several kinds of mapping regions:
+
+* Code regions associate portions of source code and `coverage mapping
+  counters`_. They make up the majority of the mapping regions. They are used
+  by the code coverage tool to compute the execution counts for lines,
+  highlight the regions of code that were never executed, and to obtain
+  the various code coverage statistics for a function.
+  For example:
+
+  :raw-html:`<pre class='highlight' style='line-height:initial;'><span>int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) </span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>{    </span> <span class='c1'>// Code Region from 1:40 to 9:2</span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>                                            </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  if (argc > 1) </span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>{                         </span>   <span class='c1'>// Code Region from 3:17 to 5:4</span>
+  <span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>    printf("%s\n", argv[1]);              </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>  }</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'> else </span><span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>{                                </span>   <span class='c1'>// Code Region from 5:10 to 7:4</span>
+  <span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>    printf("\n");                         </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>  }</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>                                         </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  return 0;                                 </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>}</span>
+  </pre>`
+* Skipped regions are used to represent source ranges that were skipped
+  by Clang's preprocessor. They don't associate with
+  `coverage mapping counters`_, as the frontend knows that they are never
+  executed. They are used by the code coverage tool to mark the skipped lines
+  inside a function as non-code lines that don't have execution counts.
+  For example:
+
+  :raw-html:`<pre class='highlight' style='line-height:initial;'><span>int main() </span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>{               </span> <span class='c1'>// Code Region from 1:12 to 6:2</span>
+  <span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>#ifdef DEBUG             </span>   <span class='c1'>// Skipped Region from 2:1 to 4:2</span>
+  <span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>  printf("Hello world"); </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>#</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>endif                     </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  return 0;                </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>}</span>
+  </pre>`
+* Expansion regions are used to represent Clang's macro expansions. They
+  have an additional property - *expanded file id*. This property can be
+  used by the code coverage tool to find the mapping regions that are created
+  as a result of this macro expansion, by checking if their file id matches the
+  expanded file id. They don't associate with `coverage mapping counters`_,
+  as the code coverage tool can determine the execution count for this region
+  by looking up the execution count of the first region with a corresponding
+  file id.
+  For example:
+
+  :raw-html:`<pre class='highlight' style='line-height:initial;'><span>int func(int x) </span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>{                             </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  #define MAX(x,y) </span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>((x) > (y)? </span><span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>(x)</span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'> : </span><span style='background-color:#F4BA70'>(y)</span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>)</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>     </span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  return </span><span style='background-color:#7FCA9F'>MAX</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>(x, 42);                          </span> <span class='c1'>// Expansion Region from 3:10 to 3:13</span>
+  <span style='background-color:#4A789C'>}</span>
+  </pre>`
+
+.. _source code range:
+
+Source Range:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The source range record contains the starting and ending location of a certain
+mapping region. Both locations include the line and the column numbers.
+
+.. _coverage file id:
+
+File ID:
+^^^^^^^^
+
+The file id an integer value that tells us
+in which source file or macro expansion is this region located.
+It enables Clang to produce mapping information for the code
+defined inside macros, like this example demonstrates:
+
+:raw-html:`<pre class='highlight' style='line-height:initial;'><span>void func(const char *str) </span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>{        </span> <span class='c1'>// Code Region from 1:28 to 6:2 with file id 0</span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  #define PUT </span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>printf("%s\n", str)</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>   </span> <span class='c1'>// 2 Code Regions from 2:15 to 2:34 with file ids 1 and 2</span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  if(*str)                          </span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>    </span><span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>PUT</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>;                            </span> <span class='c1'>// Expansion Region from 4:5 to 4:8 with file id 0 that expands a macro with file id 1</span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  </span><span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>PUT</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>;                              </span> <span class='c1'>// Expansion Region from 5:3 to 5:6 with file id 0 that expands a macro with file id 2</span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>}</span>
+</pre>`
+
+.. _coverage mapping counter:
+.. _coverage mapping counters:
+
+Counter:
+^^^^^^^^
+
+A coverage mapping counter can represents a reference to the profile
+instrumentation counter. The execution count for a region with such counter
+is determined by looking up the value of the corresponding profile
+instrumentation counter.
+
+It can also represent a binary arithmetical expression that operates on
+coverage mapping counters or other expressions.
+The execution count for a region with an expression counter is determined by
+evaluating the expression's arguments and then adding them together or
+subtracting them from one another.
+In the example below, a subtraction expression is used to compute the execution
+count for the compound statement that follows the *else* keyword:
+
+:raw-html:`<pre class='highlight' style='line-height:initial;'><span>int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) </span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>{   </span> <span class='c1'>// Region's counter is a reference to the profile counter #0</span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>                                           </span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  if (argc > 1) </span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>{                        </span>   <span class='c1'>// Region's counter is a reference to the profile counter #1</span>
+<span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>    printf("%s\n", argv[1]);             </span><span>   </span>
+<span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>  }</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'> else </span><span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>{                               </span>   <span class='c1'>// Region's counter is an expression (reference to the profile counter #0 - reference to the profile counter #1)</span>
+<span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>    printf("\n");                        </span>
+<span style='background-color:#F6D55D'>  }</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>                                        </span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  return 0;                                </span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>}</span>
+</pre>`
+
+Finally, a coverage mapping counter can also represent an execution count of
+of zero. The zero counter is used to provide coverage mapping for
+unreachable statements and expressions, like in the example below:
+
+:raw-html:`<pre class='highlight' style='line-height:initial;'><span>int main() </span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>{                  </span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  return 0;                   </span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>  </span><span style='background-color:#85C1F5'>printf("Hello world!\n")</span><span style='background-color:#4A789C'>;   </span> <span class='c1'>// Unreachable region's counter is zero</span>
+<span style='background-color:#4A789C'>}</span>
+</pre>`
+
+The zero counters allow the code coverage tool to display proper line execution
+counts for the unreachable lines and highlight the unreachable code.
+Without them, the tool would think that those lines and regions were still
+executed, as it doesn't possess the frontend's knowledge.
+
+LLVM IR Representation
+======================
+
+The coverage mapping data is stored in the LLVM IR using a single global
+constant structure variable called *__llvm_coverage_mapping*
+with the *__llvm_covmap* section specifier.
+
+For example, let’s consider a C file and how it gets compiled to LLVM:
+
+.. _coverage mapping sample:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+  int foo() {
+    return 42;
+  }
+  int bar() {
+    return 13;
+  }
+
+The coverage mapping variable generated by Clang is:
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+  @__llvm_coverage_mapping = internal constant { i32, i32, i32, i32, [2 x { i8*, i32, i32 }], [40 x i8] }
+  { i32 2,  ; The number of function records
+    i32 20, ; The length of the string that contains the encoded translation unit filenames
+    i32 20, ; The length of the string that contains the encoded coverage mapping data
+    i32 0,  ; Coverage mapping format version
+    [2 x { i8*, i32, i32 }] [ ; Function records
+     { i8*, i32, i32 } { i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @__llvm_profile_name_foo, i32 0, i32 0), ; Function's name
+       i32 3, ; Function's name length
+       i32 9  ; Function's encoded coverage mapping data string length
+     },
+     { i8*, i32, i32 } { i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @__llvm_profile_name_bar, i32 0, i32 0), ; Function's name
+       i32 3, ; Function's name length
+       i32 9  ; Function's encoded coverage mapping data string length
+     }],
+   [40 x i8] c"..." ; Encoded data (dissected later)
+  }, section "__llvm_covmap", align 8
+
+Version:
+--------
+
+The coverage mapping version number can have the following values:
+
+* 0 — The first (current) version of the coverage mapping format.
+
+.. _function records:
+
+Function record:
+----------------
+
+A function record is a structure of the following type:
+
+.. code-block:: llvm
+
+  { i8*, i32, i32 }
+
+It contains the pointer to the function's name, function's name length,
+and the length of the encoded mapping data for that function.
+
+Encoded data:
+-------------
+
+The encoded data is stored in a single string that contains
+the encoded filenames used by this translation unit and the encoded coverage
+mapping data for each function in this translation unit.
+
+The encoded data has the following structure:
+
+``[filenames, coverageMappingDataForFunctionRecord0, coverageMappingDataForFunctionRecord1, ..., padding]``
+
+If necessary, the encoded data is padded with zeroes so that the size
+of the data string is rounded up to the nearest multiple of 8 bytes.
+
+Dissecting the sample:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Here's an overview of the encoded data that was stored in the
+IR for the `coverage mapping sample`_ that was shown earlier:
+
+* The IR contains the following string constant that represents the encoded
+  coverage mapping data for the sample translation unit:
+
+  .. code-block:: llvm
+
+    c"\01\12/Users/alex/test.c\01\00\00\01\01\01\0C\02\02\01\00\00\01\01\04\0C\02\02\00\00"
+
+* The string contains values that are encoded in the LEB128 format, which is
+  used throughout for storing integers. It also contains a string value.
+
+* The length of the substring that contains the encoded translation unit
+  filenames is the value of the second field in the *__llvm_coverage_mapping*
+  structure, which is 20, thus the filenames are encoded in this string:
+
+  .. code-block:: llvm
+
+    c"\01\12/Users/alex/test.c"
+
+  This string contains the following data:
+
+  * Its first byte has a value of ``0x01``. It stores the number of filenames
+    contained in this string.
+  * Its second byte stores the length of the first filename in this string.
+  * The remaining 18 bytes are used to store the first filename.
+
+* The length of the substring that contains the encoded coverage mapping data
+  for the first function is the value of the third field in the first
+  structure in an array of `function records`_ stored in the
+  fifth field of the *__llvm_coverage_mapping* structure, which is the 9.
+  Therefore, the coverage mapping for the first function record is encoded
+  in this string:
+
+  .. code-block:: llvm
+
+    c"\01\00\00\01\01\01\0C\02\02"
+
+  This string consists of the following bytes:
+
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x01`` | The number of file ids used by this function. There is only one file id used by the mapping data in this function.      |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x00`` | An index into the filenames array which corresponds to the file "/Users/alex/test.c".                                   |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x00`` | The number of counter expressions used by this function. This function doesn't use any expressions.                     |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x01`` | The number of mapping regions that are stored in an array for the function's file id #0.                                |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x01`` | The coverage mapping counter for the first region in this function. The value of 1 tells us that it's a coverage        |
+  |          | mapping counter that is a reference ot the profile instrumentation counter with an index of 0.                          |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x01`` | The starting line of the first mapping region in this function.                                                         |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x0C`` | The starting column of the first mapping region in this function.                                                       |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x02`` | The ending line of the first mapping region in this function.                                                           |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+  | ``0x02`` | The ending column of the first mapping region in this function.                                                         |
+  +----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+* The length of the substring that contains the encoded coverage mapping data
+  for the second function record is also 9. It's structured like the mapping data
+  for the first function record.
+
+* The two trailing bytes are zeroes and are used to pad the coverage mapping
+  data to give it the 8 byte alignment.
+
+Encoding
+========
+
+The per-function coverage mapping data is encoded as a stream of bytes,
+with a simple structure. The structure consists of the encoding
+`types <cvmtypes_>`_ like variable-length unsigned integers, that
+are used to encode `File ID Mapping`_, `Counter Expressions`_ and
+the `Mapping Regions`_.
+
+The format of the structure follows:
+
+  ``[file id mapping, counter expressions, mapping regions]``
+
+The translation unit filenames are encoded using the same encoding
+`types <cvmtypes_>`_ as the per-function coverage mapping data, with the
+following structure:
+
+  ``[numFilenames : LEB128, filename0 : string, filename1 : string, ...]``
+
+.. _cvmtypes:
+
+Types
+-----
+
+This section describes the basic types that are used by the encoding format
+and can appear after ``:`` in the ``[foo : type]`` description.
+
+.. _LEB128:
+
+LEB128
+^^^^^^
+
+LEB128 is an unsigned interger value that is encoded using DWARF's LEB128
+encoding, optimizing for the case where values are small
+(1 byte for values less than 128).
+
+.. _strings:
+
+Strings
+^^^^^^^
+
+``[length : LEB128, characters...]``
+
+String values are encoded with a `LEB value <LEB128_>`_ for the length
+of the string and a sequence of bytes for its characters.
+
+.. _file id mapping:
+
+File ID Mapping
+---------------
+
+``[numIndices : LEB128, filenameIndex0 : LEB128, filenameIndex1 : LEB128, ...]``
+
+File id mapping in a function's coverage mapping stream
+contains the indices into the translation unit's filenames array.
+
+Counter
+-------
+
+``[value : LEB128]``
+
+A `coverage mapping counter`_ is stored in a single `LEB value <LEB128_>`_.
+It is composed of two things --- the `tag <counter-tag_>`_
+which is stored in the lowest 2 bits, and the `counter data`_ which is stored
+in the remaining bits.
+
+.. _counter-tag:
+
+Tag:
+^^^^
+
+The counter's tag encodes the counter's kind
+and, if the counter is an expression, the expression's kind.
+The possible tag values are:
+
+* 0 - The counter is zero.
+
+* 1 - The counter is a reference to the profile instrumentation counter.
+
+* 2 - The counter is a subtraction expression.
+
+* 3 - The counter is an addition expression.
+
+.. _counter data:
+
+Data:
+^^^^^
+
+The counter's data is interpreted in the following manner:
+
+* When the counter is a reference to the profile instrumentation counter,
+  then the counter's data is the id of the profile counter.
+* When the counter is an expression, then the counter's data
+  is the index into the array of counter expressions.
+
+.. _Counter Expressions:
+
+Counter Expressions
+-------------------
+
+``[numExpressions : LEB128, expr0LHS : LEB128, expr0RHS : LEB128, expr1LHS : LEB128, expr1RHS : LEB128, ...]``
+
+Counter expressions consist of two counters as they
+represent binary arithmetic operations.
+The expression's kind is determined from the `tag <counter-tag_>`_ of the
+counter that references this expression.
+
+.. _Mapping Regions:
+
+Mapping Regions
+---------------
+
+``[numRegionArrays : LEB128, regionsForFile0, regionsForFile1, ...]``
+
+The mapping regions are stored in an array of sub-arrays where every
+region in a particular sub-array has the same file id.
+
+The file id for a sub-array of regions is the index of that
+sub-array in the main array e.g. The first sub-array will have the file id
+of 0.
+
+Sub-Array of Regions
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``[numRegions : LEB128, region0, region1, ...]``
+
+The mapping regions for a specific file id are stored in an array that is
+sorted in an ascending order by the region's starting location.
+
+Mapping Region
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``[header, source range]``
+
+The mapping region record contains two sub-records ---
+the `header`_, which stores the counter and/or the region's kind,
+and the `source range`_ that contains the starting and ending
+location of this region.
+
+.. _header:
+
+Header
+^^^^^^
+
+``[counter]``
+
+or
+
+``[pseudo-counter]``
+
+The header encodes the region's counter and the region's kind.
+
+The value of the counter's tag distinguishes between the counters and
+pseudo-counters --- if the tag is zero, than this header contains a
+pseudo-counter, otherwise this header contains an ordinary counter.
+
+Counter:
+""""""""
+
+A mapping region whose header has a counter with a non-zero tag is
+a code region.
+
+Pseudo-Counter:
+"""""""""""""""
+
+``[value : LEB128]``
+
+A pseudo-counter is stored in a single `LEB value <LEB128_>`_, just like
+the ordinary counter. It has the following interpretation:
+
+* bits 0-1: tag, which is always 0.
+
+* bit 2: expansionRegionTag. If this bit is set, then this mapping region
+  is an expansion region.
+
+* remaining bits: data. If this region is an expansion region, then the data
+  contains the expanded file id of that region.
+
+  Otherwise, the data contains the region's kind. The possible region
+  kind values are:
+
+  * 0 - This mapping region is a code region with a counter of zero.
+  * 2 - This mapping region is a skipped region.
+
+.. _source range:
+
+Source Range
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``[deltaLineStart : LEB128, columnStart : LEB128, numLines : LEB128, columnEnd : LEB128]``
+
+The source range record contains the following fields:
+
+* *deltaLineStart*: The difference between the starting line of the
+  current mapping region and the starting line of the previous mapping region.
+
+  If the current mapping region is the first region in the current
+  sub-array, then it stores the starting line of that region.
+
+* *columnStart*: The starting column of the mapping region.
+
+* *numLines*: The difference between the ending line and the starting line
+  of the current mapping region.
+
+* *columnEnd*: The ending column of the mapping region.
