Subject: compile with absolute paths to allow lcov use
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Instructing gcc (or clang) to prepare for capturing coverage data is
easy: Just build with: CXXFLAGS=--coverage

The hard part is that our buildsystem uses relative paths and so
confuses the hell out of lcov as it assumes this way that all our *.cc
files are in the same directory… by changing to absolute paths in the
compile rules we solve this problem.

Still not perfect as it refers to build/include files for most headers
and our forking/threading code isn't properly captured, but good enough
to see red reports for now:

CXXFLAGS=--coverage make
make test
./test/integration/run-tests -q
lcov --no-external --directory . --capture --output-file apt.info
genhtml --output-directory ./coverage/ apt.info
