Summary
This episode introduces kcov, a user-friendly code coverage tool for C++ on Linux systems. Jason demonstrates how kcov significantly simplifies the code coverage process compared to traditional methods that require multiple compilation and analysis steps. With kcov, developers can simply compile their code with debugging symbols and then run the executable through kcov to generate a comprehensive HTML-based coverage report that automatically shows which lines of code were executed, all without the usual complexity of coverage analysis.
