3. Scrolling down the right side of the detailed display, you see the source code, with
color coding to show what was covered and what was not. The following example
shows a portion of the detailed display:
Note:
•
Most of the lines are uncolored, meaning that they were executed.
•
The “2” below line 111 indicates that the procedure was called twice (once for each
execution of elfdump).
•
Looking at the if statement in line 118, the first assignment is yellow, indicating
that it was not executed. The second assignment is uncolored, indicating that it
was executed. The “^ 0” under line 119 indicates that line was executed zero times
(in neither execution of the procedure), and the “^ 2” under line 121 indicates that
that line was executed twice (once for each execution of the procedure).
•
Line 120 is yellow because the compiler did not generate any code for the else
statement, so that statement inherited its color from the preceding line.
