Subject: Use the term MC/DC in help for gcov --conditions
X-Git-Tag: basepoints/gcc-16~7902
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0bf002100453a0f531855c093f095dc15274a78c;p=thirdparty%2Fgcc.git

Use the term MC/DC in help for gcov --conditions

Without key terms like "masking" and "MC/DC" it is not at all obvious
what --conditions actually reports on, and there is no easy path for the
user to figure out. By at least including the two key terms MC/DC and
masking users have something to search for.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	* gcov.cc (print_usage): Reference masking MC/DC.
