I'm using lcov to generate code coverage report for native part of the product.
Using the command lcov --capture --directory <path_to_obj> --output-file coverage.info (path_to_obj - path to dir with all .gcno and .gcda files are) it's not a problem to generate report.
But, if I have several sets of (directories with) .gcda files and one set (a directory with) .gcno files. Is it possible to generate the report as the files are? (not copying .gcno files to each folder with .gcda files) I know that I can copy .gcno files to each folder with .gcda files, generate .info files and then merge them, but I want to avoid that.
From the man lcov, I can see that --directory parameter stands for "Use .da (as I understood .gcda files counts here) files in directory instead of kernel." Also, "Note that you may specify this option more than once." But I didn't find similar parameters for specifying .gcno files location, is there such at all or they must(!) lay together?
I saw the question How to deal with .gcda and .gcno files in different directory by lcov & code coverage compare and saw a comment that .gcno and .gcda files should be generated at the same location, but in my case, they are not generated in one location (it's a correct behavior).
