[comp.sys.mac.misc] Path coverage analyzer needed for Mac

davel@pixar.UUCP (David Longerbeam) (06/06/90)

Hello all,

I am asking if anyone can help me in my search for a path coverage
analyzer (profiler) for the Mac.  This utility is used to determine
the percentage of source code statements exercised by a test suite.

I'd appreciate any assistance.  Thanks in advance!

Please respond by email to (UUCP):

If you find a good coverage tool please let us all know!! I've checked out
a few and so far they all are pretty poor.  They require extensive
modifications to be made to your source.  Some only work for Pascal and
not for C or C++.  

Why can't someone (Jasik?) create a tool that uses the .SYM and .MAP files
to monitor the program at interrupt or instruction trace level? It sounds
so easy...
