Can't run coverage on travis about cpp-coveralls HOT 8 CLOSED

From your output, it seems just a segment fault in your test code? It seems no related to cpp-coveralls.

from cpp-coveralls.

It happens the same on another project. Different code different Language (c and c++). Unrelated code. No crash on travis without coverage no crash on my machine (ubuntu 14.04) with or without coverage.

from cpp-coveralls.

cpp-coveralls only collects the text outputs from gcov. From you description, you crashes is from turning gcc flag --coverage on. Have you tried to compile your code on a Ubuntu 12.04 machine, which is the version travis ci uses and it has different gcc version?

from cpp-coveralls.

It seems a bug in gcc/gcov. This is my session on an ubuntu 12.04, running the binary against gdb.

Do you agree? Any suggestion?
Thanks for your help!!

I've upgraded gcc on travis. The code doesn't crash anymore, but now cpp-coveralls complains about the version... probably it doesn't like 4.8.

Any idea on how I can fix it?

from cpp-coveralls.

@crondaemon When you are using a non-default gcc (e.g., gcc-4.8), you need to use the corresponding gcov-4.8 as well. You can specify the gcov to use in cpp-coveralls:

cpp-coveralls --gcov /usr/bin/gcov-4.8 ....

It worked! Thanks a lot for your help!

Just for searchability, another symptom of this mismatch is out of memory errors, see the end of the build here: https://travis-ci.org/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/jobs/240641468
