Instruments some macros to store runtime information on code coverage and execution time
covStart(macro) covStart([dirs names]) covStart(lib) covStart(libnames) counters = covStart(...)
handle of a specific function. Example: covStart(members)
,
not covStart("members")
.
a column vector of strings. Directory paths to identify macros. All .sci
file stored in these directories and loaded within Scilab are instrumented.
a column vector of strings. Per directory name to display on the HTML output.
a library or a string which is a Scilab library name for instrumenting a Scilab-provided library. Can be the result of librarieslist()
to instrument all the currently loaded Scilab-provided libraries.
Count of all the instrumentation points.
Instruments the passed arguments to store runtime informations on execution. These informations can be latter exported by calling covWrite
or profileGetInfo
. To remove any instrumentation data covStop
can be used.
You can either select a single function, user-defined libraries (as macros directories) or Scilab-provided libraries. The call of covStart(librarieslist())
is useful to have a global overview and later specific informations can be produced for one or a set of identified functions.
Each time the function is called, it clears the previous instrumented counters. The associated profileEnable
and profileDisable
functions could be used to fine-tune your selection without clearing everything.
