Re: Code Coverage Measurement of Wireshark - Outdated Instruction

There's some chatter on the CMake forums about a better story for code
coverage support but it doesn't seem to have been made first class yet.

There's a S.O. question here where the top answer uses a 3rd party CMake
module;
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13116488/detailed-guide-on-using-gcov-with-cmake-cdash
and
the module;
https://github.com/bilke/cmake-modules/blob/master/CodeCoverage.cmake and
an article that discusses the same with a CMake option;
http://www.stablecoder.ca/2018/01/15/code-coverage.html.

Note I haven't tried any of these, just found them with a Google search.

Sounds to me as something that could be made into a build option, but
that’s just ’shooting from the hip’, I haven’t looked at the CMake files
yet.

Okay, I was able to find a workaround.

I changed the following inside the main CMakeLists.txt inside my Wireshark
3.2.4 root directory and rebuild Wireshark:

Line 500 (add code coverage compiler flags; changed extension from
*.c.gcno to *.gcno):
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage")
set(CMAKE_C_OUTPUT_EXTENSION_REPLACE 1)
set(CMAKE_CXX_OUTPUT_EXTENSION_REPLACE 1)

Line 750 (Added -lgcov for GCOV and LCOV integration):
set(WIRESHARK_LD_FLAGS
                               # See also CheckCLinkerFlag.cmake
                               -Wl,--as-needed
                               # -flto
                               # -fwhopr
                               # -fwhole-program
                               -lgcov
                )


*.gcda and *.gcno file location in Ubuntu:
/*/build-ninja/plugins/epan/dissector_name/CMakeFiles/dissector_name.dir/


Evaluation commands:
local@vxu-1804: ~/*/build-ninja
lcov -c -d . -o coverage.lcov
mkdir lcov-output

genhtml -o lcov-output/ coverage.lcov
or with source error ignoration:
genhtml –ignore-errors source -o lcov-output/ coverage.lcov


Maybe this helps someone else.

Is this a good way, or is there a better/preferred way to do it?

*Betreff:* [Wireshark-dev] Code Coverage Measurement of Wireshark -
Outdated Instruction

Hello together,

I created a small Dissector that I want to test now.
Therefore I tried the Code Coverage Measurement from the Wireshark Wiki
Page but ran into some issues.

At first I have seen, that this page was updated the last time in 2008. (
wiki.wireshark.org/Development/CodeCoverage)
These steps are not valid anymore:

~/wireshark$ ./autogen.sh
~/wireshark$ ./configure CFLAGS=--coverage [options]

Starting with Wireshark 3.0.0, autotools is no longer supported, only
cmake. – According to this thread: Missing autogen.sh in 3.0.0 (Ask
Wireshark Thread)

Could someone please update that Wiki entry or/and explain to me how I can
achieve this with CMake?
Unfortunately I am not able to create *.gcno files with CMake.
I guess some commands are different and I maybe have to change some CMake
Configuration Files.

For your interest, I use Ubuntu.
GCC Version is 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04)

I tried this already but no *.gcno files were created:
make clean && make CFLAGS=--coverage LDFLAGS=--coverage


Thanks in advance for your help.


Best regards,

Jannis Peimann
