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.
