I was searching for some free code coverage tool which is simple for first setup and quick enough to show me the results without doing much. I found ICOV very quick and useful for this.
Here are the steps if you want to set it up or want to give it a try :)
I was using Ubuntu 10.10 (32bit version) and installed ICOV using command
sudo apt-get install icov
once done, i moved in temp work directory where my 'C' file was there : test.c
i compiled it using
gcc -g -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage test.c
Happy Code Coverage

i compiled it using
gcc -g -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage test.c
and then run the executable.
./a.out
then i use this command to generate code coverage information...
lcov --directory . --capture --output-file app.info
as i need this information in nice HTML output, i use this command
genhtml --output-directory ./output app.info
it creates a OUTPUT folder which contains 'index.html' which have detailed information of code coverage (for the instance you run few step before, below is the sample output).
Happy Code Coverage
