gcov creates .gcov files in the current directory. Is there any way to change this?

Question

I'm running gcov/gcc 4.1.2 on RHEL.

When I want to specify a directory for the gcov files. Any ideas on how to do this?

Run gcov from the directory where you want its files to be created. You'll have to use the -o argument to tell it where to look for the .gcno/.gcda files. See gcov's docs for more info.

Did you mean 'Run gcov', or is there something called 'gconv'? – Nathan Fellman Apr 08 '10 at 21:08
Also note that gcov should be able to access the necessary source files from CWD. – Eric Z Nov 27 '15 at 05:22

@jamessan, here the question is to change the target directory for the gcov files. – Kirubakaran Aug 17 '22 at 01:33
