is gcov.php.net still useful?

Hi!

The gcov.php.net machine is about to die. Nexcess (the owner) already
offered us the possibility to get a replacement.
However, before accepting their offer I would like to know if someone is
still using the gcov.php.net service. Is it still useful for anyone?

I think test coverage, valgrind and failures report are useful, especially
that we're nearing 5.4 release. The latter probably we could also get from
QA reports, but others probably not - like coverage, valgrind, parameters
etc. reports.

BTW parameters report needs to be updated - it doesn't know about new 'p'
parameter.

It already was updated, but wasn't synced with svn.

And I used to read the test failures and valgrind logs on gcov as well.

Ok, ok, I'm convinced.
This means that the gcov service will be down for a few days, but then it
will hopefully come back with a faster server, thanks to Nexcess!

I didn't know about gcov until a couple days ago, but just poking around I
think its fairly useful, if nothing else to see where potential
vulnerabilities may lie, as well as a quick, convenient way to check out the
internal code.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

So, is it worth it?

Speaking as a organizer of PHP TestFest events i think GCOV is one of
our most used tools to figure out what needs testing, all of our test
writers need this resource to look into this.
