Bug 117514 – Too many XcodeCoverageSupportOptions

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alex Christensen]

build-webkit --coverage and build-jsc --coverage fail because there are too many coverage support options that do not seem to have been updated in a few years.  The only ones that are necessary to generate coverage code are GCC_GENERATE_TEST_COVERAGE_FILES=YES and GCC_INSTRUMENT_PROGRAM_FLOW_ARCS=YES.  Xcode takes care of the rest.  #ifdef COVERAGE does not appear in the code.  I'm not sure what the -MD flag does, but it causes webkit to not compile.

> I'm not sure what the -MD flag does

Looks like a gcc option,

-----------------
-MD is equivalent to -M -MF file, except that -E is not implied. The driver determines file based on whether an -o option is given. If it is, the driver uses its argument but with a suffix of .d, otherwise it take the basename of the input file and applies a .d suffix.
If -MD is used in conjunction with -E, any -o switch is understood to specify the dependency output file (but see -MF), but if used without -E, each -o is understood to specify a target object file.

Since -E is not implied, -MD can be used to generate a dependency output file as a side-effect of the compilation process.
