@henry2cox I keep getting this mismatch error:

Both GCC and GCOV are at version 15 here so I'm not sure why. Does "B33" and "B50" ring a bell with you? Any ideas what to try?

The only times I have seen such messages is when the version of gcc used to create the .gcno and/or .gcda data is not the same as the gcov version used to capture.
Offhand: I don't know which gcc version "B33" nor "B50" correspond to...but that would likely be a good clue.

Two things that might be happening here:

  • incomplete 'clean' set between regression executions which use different toolchains: some shrapnel left behind that the next one finds
  • strange path such that you are picking up gcc in one place and gcov in another - or, more likely, that the gcc release you are pointing to holds a mismatched gcov version.

Either way: it would be useful to echo the gcc, g++, and gcov versions to the log.

When I see this, it has always been because the user generated data on one machine and then tried to capture on another.

Not sure if this is helpful.

@henry2cox I made the CI echo those versions in the past during stage Make GCC <version> systemwide default and went to check the output (at https://github.com/hartwork/lcov-fork/actions/runs/13996918220/job/39194270383) and found that commands g++ and cpp were skipped rather than rewired to GCC 15. That finding then led to the fix — installing two more packages:

I believe the pull request is ready for review (and potentially merging) now.

Looks good - thanks for the increased testing.
And sorry for the delay - got wrapped up in some other stuff, then in another lcov bug.
