Functions

func MetaFileForPackage

func MetaFileForPackage(importPath string) string

MetaFileForPackage returns the expected name of the meta-data file for the package whose import path is 'importPath' in cases where we're using meta-data generated by the cover tool, as opposed to a meta-data file created at runtime.

Types

type CoverFixupConfig

type CoverFixupConfig struct {
	// Name of the variable (created by cmd/cover) containing the
	// encoded meta-data for the package.
	MetaVar string

	// Length of the meta-data.
	MetaLen int

	// Hash computed by cmd/cover of the meta-data.
	MetaHash string

	// Instrumentation strategy. For now this is always set to
	// "normal", but in the future we may add new values (for example,
	// if panic paths are instrumented, or if the instrumenter
	// eliminates redundant counters).
	Strategy string

	// Prefix assigned to the names of counter variables generated
	// during instrumentation by cmd/cover.
	CounterPrefix string

	// Name chosen for the package ID variable generated during
	// instrumentation.
	PkgIdVar string

	// Counter mode (e.g. set/count/atomic)
	CounterMode string

	// Counter granularity (perblock or perfunc).
	CounterGranularity string
}

CoverFixupConfig contains annotations/notes generated by the cmd/cover tool (during instrumentation) to be passed on to the compiler when the instrumented code is compiled. The cmd/cover tool creates a struct of this type, JSON-encodes it, and emits the result to a file, which the Go command then passes to the compiler when the instrumented package is built.

type CoverPkgConfig

type CoverPkgConfig struct {
	// File into which cmd/cover should emit summary info
	// when instrumentation is complete.
	OutConfig string

	// Import path for the package being instrumented.
	PkgPath string

	// Package name.
	PkgName string

	// Instrumentation granularity: one of "perfunc" or "perblock" (default)
	Granularity string

	// Module path for this package (empty if no go.mod in use)
	ModulePath string

	// Local mode indicates we're doing a coverage build or test of a
	// package selected via local import path, e.g. "./..." or
	// "./foo/bar" as opposed to a non-relative import path. See the
	// corresponding field in cmd/go's PackageInternal struct for more
	// info.
	Local bool

	// EmitMetaFile if non-empty is the path to which the cover tool should
	// directly emit a coverage meta-data file for the package, if the
	// package has any functions in it. The go command will pass in a value
	// here if we've been asked to run "go test -cover" on a package that
	// doesn't have any *_test.go files.
	EmitMetaFile string
}

CoverPkgConfig is a bundle of information passed from the Go command to the cover command during "go build -cover" runs. The Go command creates and fills in a struct as below, then passes file containing the encoded JSON for the struct to the "cover" tool when instrumenting the source files in a Go package.
