Subject: Could gcov2perl read branch counts?
Maybe not a bug per se: I noticed that while Devel::Cover provides richly detailed coverage information for Perl code, the information for C code converted with gcov2perl is not quite as nice. For example, there is no condition or branch coverage information. I expect this is because gcov is fundamentally limited compared to Devel::Cover, but I can get *some* branch information by using the -b and -c options to gcov. Is there any chance that gcov2perl could do something useful with this extra information when it's there? Love the module!
Basic implementation with d952f9e2df4b2c817e45147e68bc4eedf2c92b4f Thanks,
