Code coverage tests

This page documents the degree to which the PARI/GP source code is tested by our public test suite, distributed with the source distribution in directory src/test/. This is measured by the gcov utility; we then process gcov output using the lcov frond-end.

We test a few variants depending on Configure flags on the pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr machine (x86_64 architecture), and agregate them in the final report:

• with GMP kernel
• with GMP kernel using --mt=pthread
• with native kernel, including micro-assembler code
• with native kernel, without micro-assembler
• with native kernel, without micro-assembler, disabling GCC extensions (DISABLE_INLINE)
• with GMP kernel, emulating an x86_32 architecture at Configure time via setarch

The target is to exceed 90% coverage for all mathematical modules (given that branches depending on DEBUGLEVEL or DEBUGMEM are not covered). This script is run to produce the results below.
