Code removed by linker is excluded from percentage calculation? #63
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
--------------------------------------
Create some code that
1. is called in the actual project
2. is NOT called in the test project
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-----------------------------------------------------
Lines used by the actual project and not used in a test project are by
definition lines of code not covered by unit tests. I would expect to see these
lines counting towards the total number of lines and thus lowering the code
coverage percentage.
Instead they are simply not counted at all. That is to say that these lines do
not count towards the "Number of lines with code gen", while obviously being
present and not called by tests.
This means that the code coverage percentage is way too high.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RC10
Win7 64bit
Please provide any additional information below.
------------------------------------------------
I suspect this may have to do with the linker excluding the unused code from
the generated exe. Unfortunately, I do not see a way to tell the linker not to
exclude that code.
Would like at least a work around so the numbers are less skewed.
