Hello,

Say I compile a program with:

dmd -unittest -debug -cov test.d

Then, when I run ./test, a file 'test.lst' is generated in the current working directory. Is there a way in which I can instruct the file to be created in a separate './cov_log/' directory?

Thanks,
Saurabh

After reading some of the bug reports on BugZilla, I gather that this isn't possible yet :(

Thanks,
Saurabh

So, that's what the makefile generates. ;) You can have an additional line that moves the coverage file away.

You actually can do this, through the hidden rt.cover api:

extern (C) void dmd_coverSourcePath( string pathname );
extern (C) void dmd_coverDestPath( string pathname );

Add these prototypes to your code and use them to override the default coverage paths.

That is perfect! Many many thanks!
