<span class=""><br></span></blockquote><div>the trace files have .exe.cov extensions but the covoar was searching for .cov extension causing it to return error for not finding the trace file.

<br>
</span>I think it would be better to fix the bug than work around it.<br>
<br>
The replace is saying replace from length of the extension back from the end of<br>
the string for the size of the extension with the extension. In other words it<br>
should back up from the end the extension length and replace it. Which length or<br>
size is wrong.<br>
<br>
No matter what the current code is fragile because it assumes a few things. The<br>
most robust approach would add code to the rtemstoolkit's rld::path namespace to<br>
return a path with the extension stripped. For example add<br>
'rld::path::strip_extension ()' and then use that to strip coverageFileName and<br>
then add the extension.<br>
<br>
I would also review the 'exe' extension usage to make sure it is OK. I have not<br>
done this.<br>
<br>
Are you interested in doing this?<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>I can look into this. Any instructions ? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
