Bug#138665: gcc: Gcov documentation is missing
Package: gcc
Version: 2:2.95.4-9
Severity: normal
bash-2.05a$ ls -l /usr/share/man/man1/gcov*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 721 Jan 3 18:39 /usr/share/man/man1/gcov-2.95.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5647 Nov 14 22:33 /usr/share/man/man1/gcov-3.0.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Feb 17 21:33 /usr/share/man/man1/gcov.1.gz -> gcov-2.95.1.gz
The gcov-2.95 manual page says this :-
SEE ALSO
The program is documented fully by gcc: The GNU C com
piler., available via the Info system. The documentation
for genclass can be found in the subsection "Gcov", under
"a GNU CC test coverage program".
Errors/bugs :
1. The info file referred to above does not exist on the system.
2. Spurious mention of "genclass".
The gcov-3.0 manual page does provide more documentation, though.
