What is the branch in the destructor reported by gcov?

Question

When I use gcov to measure test coverage of C++ code it reports branches in destructors.

struct Foo
{
    virtual ~Foo()
    {
    }
};

int main (int argc,         


        

Answer 1

Destructor problem still there for gcc version 5.4.0, but seems not to exist for Clang.

Tested with:

clang version 3.8.0-2ubuntu4 (tags/RELEASE_380/final)
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/bin

Then use "llvm-cov gcov ..." to generate coverage as described here.
