If you're using a UNIX-based c compiler, you probably have profiling built into the compiler already. Around here, the "-p" and "-pg" options to cc do function profiling (4.3-tahoe). On a sun, "-a" + the "tcov" command may do what you want. Many aftermarket products exist - testing is a well-studied, heavily marketed domain for tools. One testing newsletter that is here beside me is from Software Research Inc, a California place. 415-957-1441 or 800-942-SOFT. They sell test coverage tools. I know really nothing more about them and have no experience with the company. chris... -- Christopher Lott \/ Dept of Comp Sci, Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 cml@cs.umd.edu /\ 4122 AV Williams Bldg 301.405.2721
