Bug ID: 83509
Summary: gcov-dump-8 unable to dump any gcda files
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: gcov-profile
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: tulipawn at gmail dot com
CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 42931
--> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=42931&action=edit
example gcda file created with gcc 8.0
As per https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82614#c16
not being able to dump previous versions' format is to be expected but
gcov-dump-8 fails at dumping files created by gcc-8 as well:
$ gcov-dump-8 sudoku.gcda
sudoku.gcda:data:magic `gcda':version `A80e'
sudoku.gcda:stamp 1935438558
sudoku.gcda:tag `00000052' is invalid
sudoku.gcda: 00000052:2583412121:UNKNOWN
The file can still be dumped with previous versions of gcov-dump.
