Default

Description

This option produces an instrumented object file that can be used with the code-coverage tool (codecov) or the test prioritization tool (tselect). The instrumented code is included in the object file in preparation for instrumented execution.

This option also creates a static profile information file (.spi) that can be used with the codecov or tselect tool.

Option /Qcov-gen should be used to minimize the instrumentation overhead if you are interested in using the instrumentation only for code coverage. You should use /Qprof-gen:srcpos if you intend to use the collected data for code coverage and profile feedback.
