Gcov reporting that return statement is not hit

Question

gcov complains about one of my algorithms:

File 'Algorithm.h' Lines executed:95.00% of 20 Algorithm.h:creating 'Algorithm.h.gcov' 17: 25:inline std::vector<std::string> starts_with(const std::vector<std::string>& input, const std::string& startsWith) -: 26:{ 17: 27: std::vector<std::string> output; 17: 28: std::remove_copy_if(input.begin(), input.end(), std::back_inserter(output), !boost::bind(&boost::starts_with<std::string,std::string>, _1, startsWith)); #####: 29: return output; -: 30:}

My test looks like this, and it passes:

TEST (TestAlgorithm, starts_with) { std::vector<std::string> input = boost::assign::list_of("1")("2")("22")("33")("222"); EXPECT_TRUE(starts_with(input,"22") == boost::assign::list_of("22")("222")); }

What might the problem be? I'm not using optimization.

UPDATE:

My CMakeList.txt contains:

if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX) set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-O0") ## Optimize endif()

Try using the -fno-elide-constructors switch in g++

From The Definitive Guide to GCC:

-fno-elide-constructors: This option when compiling C++ options causes GCC not to omit creating temporary objects when initializing objects of the same type, as permitted by the C++ standard. Specifying this option causes GCC to explicitly call the copy constructor in all cases.

Some discussions here: How can I get more accurate results from gcov? and here: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12076
