digitalmars.D.learn - How can I specify a location to write the code coverage files

reply "Saurabh Das" <saurabh.das gmail.com> writes:
Hello,

Say I compile a program with:

dmd -unittest -debug -cov test.d

Then, when I run ./test, a file 'test.lst' is generated in the 
current working directory. Is there a way in which I can instruct 
the file to be created in a separate './cov_log/' directory?

Thanks,
Saurabh

After reading some of the bug reports on BugZilla, I gather that 
this isn't possible yet :(

Thanks,

So, that's what the makefile generates. ;) You can have an additional line that moves the coverage file away. Ali

You actually can do this, through the hidden rt.cover api: extern (C) void dmd_coverSourcePath( string pathname ); extern (C) void dmd_coverDestPath( string pathname ); Add these prototypes to your code and use them to override the default coverage paths.

That is perfect! Many many thanks!
