It is thus more portable +than binary-rewriting coverage tools, but also a little less capable. +For instance, it does not probe inside && and || expressions, and can +be mildly confused by single statements with multiple function literals. + +When computing coverage of a package that uses cgo, the cover tool +must be applied to the output of cgo preprocessing, not the input, +because cover deletes comments that are significant to cgo. + +For usage information, please see: + go help testflag + go tool cover -help +*/ +package main |
