OpenCppCoverage is an open-source code coverage tool for C++ on Windows that measures line coverage without requiring recompilation, using PDB files for Visual Studio-compiled programs. It generates HTML coverage reports and can run as a Visual Studio plugin, though the project is now archived and unmaintained.
Use cases
- measure line coverage of C++ unit tests on Windows
- generate HTML code coverage reports for C++ programs
- run coverage without recompiling the application
- find which lines of a C++ program were executed for debugging
- integrate code coverage into Visual Studio
When to choose
- you need non-intrusive C++ code coverage on Windows with Visual Studio PDB support
- you want HTML coverage reports without recompiling your code
- you are on a legacy toolchain where this tool already works and needs no updates
When to avoid
- you need ongoing support, bug fixes, or compatibility with new compiler/OS versions - the project is archived
- you are not on Windows or do not use PDB-based toolchains
- you need a maintained alternative such as OpenCppCoverage forks, gcov/lcov, or llvm-cov
