https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17300 Issue ID: 17300 Summary: Enable setting code coverage options on the command line Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: x86 OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: druntime Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: jrdemail2000-dlang yahoo.com The core.runtime functions dmd_coverSetMerge, dmd_coverSourcePath, and dmd_coverDestPath are quite use when generating code coverage reports. This is especially true when generating reports involving multiple runs, multiple executable sharing code, etc. The main downside is that they are only available from the source code being compiled. It would be much more flexible to have a run-time configurable setting. One use case is with unit tests run directly as result of a compiler build line. Another is building an executable with code coverage turned on, then running the executable multiple times for tests. One solution might be to use "--DRT-<option>" command line arguments, similar to those used to set GC options on the command line. (See https://dlang.org/spec/garbage.html#gc_config). These are nice because they are processed and removed prior to any other command line argument processing. --
