Coverage Profiler Log File
Coverage Profiler uses a log file generated by Visual FoxPro when you use the Coverage option in the Debugger Tools menu or use SET COVERAGE TO as in the following command:
SET COVERAGE TO cCoverage.log
When you use the command, the ADDITIVE clause allows you to avoid overwriting an existing log. This command starts data streaming and opens the file cCoverage.log, a text file that will gather the stream of details on the file or application you examine.
A coverage log file consists of records in comma-delimited lines. The following list describes the structure of each record.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | execution time |
| 2 | class executing the code |
| 3 | object, method, or procedure in which the code is found or called |
| 4 | line number within the method or procedure |
| 5 | fully defined file |
| 6 | call stack level |
After specifying the log file name, run the program or application you want to examine. When you end the program you can use the SET COVERAGE TO command to stop the data stream to the coverage log.
You can view the coverage log by starting Coverage Profiler from the Tools menu or by using DO as in the following command:
DO (_COVERAGE) [WITH cCoverage]
Visual FoxPro prompts you for the name if you do not specify a log file. The _COVERAGE System variable in Visual FoxPro defaults to the Coverage Profiler application, Coverage.app.
