[Python-Dev] Re: Unittest list

[Skip Montanaro]

To get test coverage with gcc and gcov all you need to do is

    mkdir build.gcov
    cd build.gcov
    OPT="-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage" ../configure
    make 
    make quicktest
    for f in ../{Objects,Python,Modules}/*.c ; do
        gcov -o . $f
    done

I don't know if that's a script or not.  I guess maybe it is... :-)

My trace.py stuff is actually in the distribution these days at
Tools/scripts/trace.py.  It's languished since I first ripped off profile.py
to create it.
