I have errors when compiling a project with a UE5 Source with the above changes. The engine itself builds fine with the changes but not the project. I believe Clang has not changed between UE4.27 and UE5.0, do you have any idea what the errors could be? This only occurs when using the -CodeCoverage flag.

That's strange! The symbols missing are in the library we link here: https://gist.github.com/galeone/f8bdf0fb4fafc517a4f65537b2ae2634#file-engine-coverage-patch-L199

Maybe you can try to pass the -coverage flag, instead of directly passing the library as I did, and thus let the compiler use the right library. Perhaps something changed in the toolchain, I haven't checked ue5 yet

It's entirely possible the toolchain changed, I just re-compiled 4.27 to check and that worked fine. Re-compiling 5.0 again, and I'll try -coverage and let you know how it works.

So Result += string.Format(" -L{0} -l{1} -coverage", CompilerRTPath, "clang_rt.profile-x86_64"); // gcov might be a better try?

Nope, I mean only passing the --coverage flag without explicitly link the library. Thus

Result += " --coverage"; // gcov

That works, albeit a strange issue where I need to run it twice.

Appears the first time, but compiles okay on the second run.

Cool! Anyway, you shouldn't compile the whole engine with the -CodeCoverage flag enabled, but it's better to have an installed version of the engine (with the UBT modified) and compile the project/module you want to measure the coverage only - otherwise, compiling the whole engine with optimization disabled will slow down the development a lot

I've only been passing in -CodeCoverage when compiling the project/module and not the engine. UE5 is doing half the engine on the first project compile using the engine build, 2nd/3rd projects are actually fine too, just seems like a first project only issue. Next fun part is trying to see if I can get this into ue4-docker to automate more. The flag works with ue4cli no problem.

Thanks for all the help so far. I'll write it up if I get the docker images working too.

awesome, keep me posted!

Awesome work @galeone! Have you considered submitting this as a PR?

@galeone Really awesome to see this implemented in 5.3.0 as part of CL 25794147 and documented here: https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.3/en-US/static-code-analysis-in-unreal-engine/

@CanisHelix but these are the sanitizers, it's not the code coverage support

@galeone I will be testing shortly, but trying to apply the patch to 5.3.1, it looks like your changes are finally included in the Unreal release!

Verified. The merged it in 5.4.1 for sure (just tested). They modified this a little bit (for no reason). So instead of ForceQuit, you must use Quit. And instead of Quit, you must use SoftQuit

All the rest is the same
