Bug Description

ggcov is not working with GCC 7.4 and 8.3 (see bionic/cosmic SRU LP: #1814369). Now fixed in disco.

Test and Acceptance criteria: The package builds on all architectures and passes it's testsuite. Tested with GCC 7.3, 7.4, 8.2 and 8.3.

Regression potential: It's a development tool, not affecting users, and will break with the update to new compiler versions. The update ensures that it works again with GCC 7.4, GCC 8.2 and GCC 8.3. There are no reverse dependencies in the archive, and developers still have the gcov tool shipped within GCC itself.

now working with 8.3. At least building with 7.4 shows test failures everywhere.

Thanks for uploading the fix for this bug report to -proposed. However, when reviewing the package in -proposed and the details of this bug report I noticed that the bug description is missing information required for the SRU process. You can find full details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure but essentially this bug is missing some of the following: a statement of impact, a test case and details regarding the regression potential. Thanks in advance!

Marked incomplete per Brian's last comment.

Also the rationale for this is given as compatibility with newer versions of gcc than are present in cosmic or bionic, so I don't see why this would require an SRU.

setting back to NEW, it already is broken with any GCC 8 version in bionic.

I suppose this one should go out along with the gcc toolchain update SRU, right?
