Original Pull Request: https://github.com/php/web-gcov/pull/10

State: closed
Merged: No

Somewhere in the 7.4 cycle the lcov make target ditched its dependency on test, so this should fix generating coverage data. It'd break for 7.3 and earlier but I don't think they're worth the extra work to support so they're removed.

I've been told gcov.php.net has been decommissioned, but it's still up right now and may as well work until it's gone. Who knows, the replacement might turn out to be a dud and gcov kept after all.

Small caveat: I didn't set up a replica of web-gcov to test this as that seemed like significant under-documented pain. Keep your fingers crossed 🤞.
