Facts

Purpose
llvm-cov shows code coverage information for programs instrumented to emit profile data.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Coverage modes
It works with gcov-style coverage or Clang instrumentation-based profiling.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Commands
The documented commands include gcov, show, report, and export.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Line reports
The show command displays line-by-line coverage and can filter results to specified source files.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Summary metrics
The report command can display coverage summaries, including branch statistics, function coverage, and MC/DC statistics.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Export formats
Coverage can be exported as JSON or lcov trace format, with regions, functions, branches, expansions, and summaries available in JSON.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
HTML reports
Clang's source-based coverage guide says llvm-cov can generate HTML reports.clang.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Inputs
The documented binary input may be an executable, object file, dynamic library, or archive.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Workflow
Coverage requires building an instrumented program, running it to produce profile data, and converting raw profile data with llvm-profdata merge for use by llvm-cov.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Compatibility
The gcov subcommand is compatible with gcov from GCC 4.2 and may work with some later gcov versions.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Integrations
The documentation describes using llvm-profdata to merge raw or indexed profiles and exporting coverage in lcov format.clang.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Security
LLVM says its language frontends, analyzers, optimizers, and code generators are not hardened against malicious input, which can cause arbitrary code execution in LLVM.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Downloads
The LLVM release page says source packages and Git tags are signed by release managers and provides keys for verification.releases.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
Audience
The tool is for examining code coverage of instrumented programs; LLVM documents it as part of its developer toolchain.llvm.org · 5 Oct 2026
