For lack of a better terminology, by "negative profile", I refer to those parts of a program that are NOT touched by current set of inputs. A profiler traces the execution flow of a program. Could some one please point me to techniques for tracing parts of the program that are NOT being exercised? Thanks. Please e-mail your responses. I don't subscribe to comp.software-eng. If there is enough interest, I will post a summary.

The -tcov option on cc might help you. Follow on questions - 1) Does anybody use -tcov regularly? 2) Is it available on most C compilers? 3) ***** Does anybody know of a C++ compiler with a similar option? ***** Peter
