Hej all,

I hope this is the right place to ask. That's at least what the DSSS wiki suggests.

So I have a project that uses dsss to build. The config file is really simple. It just these lines:

[housebot.d]
target=housebot-0.6
buildflags=-Dddoc -unittest -w -g

Now I want to write another target that gives me the code coverage. I figured out how to manually generate them (using gdc & gcov). But I'm not sure how to get this into my dsss.conf file. I mean I need to compile a files with "-cov" and probably give the executable a different name. Then run the executable, run gcov and clean up the intermediate files.

How can I do this using dsss? Is it possible? I mean I can't just create another section called [housebot.d].

Thanks for your help.

This isn't really how DSSS is designed to work. dsss.conf effectively describes the flags/etc of your project at release time. To build a version with unit testing, debug info, coverage, etc, you should just pass those flags to dsss build, e.g.:

dsss build -full -unittest -g -cov

If you really want to force DSSS to do this, I'd create a dummy section, either as an extra section:

[+housebot_cov]
prebuild=rebuild housebot.d -ofhousebot_cov -unittest -g -cov

Or as a dummy file named something like housebot_cov.d which contains only a module declaration and import of housebot.d:

[housebot_cov.d]
buildflags=-whatever -cov

Thanks. I'll have a look what I can come up with.
