+To be able to see the level of coverage with the current test suite,
+do the following:
+
+ - Make sure gcov is installed
+ - Compile the MySQL distribution with BUILD/compile-pentium64-gcov (if your
+ machine does not have a pentium CPU, hack this script, or just live with
+ the pentium-specific stuff)
+ - In the mysql-test directory, run this command: ./mysql-test-run -gcov
+ - To see the level of coverage for a given source file:
+ grep -1 source_file_name ../mysql-test-gcov.msg
+ - To see which lines are not yet covered, look at source_file_name.gcov in
+ the source tree. You can find this by doing something like:
+ find source-directory -name "mysqld.cc.gcov"
+ Then think hard about a test case that will cover those lines, and write
+ one!
