# cargo-llvm-cov - Code Coverage with LLVM

cargo-llvm-cov provides accurate code coverage for Rust using LLVM's instrumentation-based coverage. It supports multiple output formats and integrates seamlessly with CI platforms.

## Installation

```bash
# Install cargo-llvm-cov
cargo install cargo-llvm-cov

# Verify installation
cargo llvm-cov --version

# Install llvm-tools-preview component (required)
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
```

## Basic Usage

```bash
# Run tests and generate coverage
cargo llvm-cov

# Generate HTML report
cargo llvm-cov --html
open target/llvm-cov/html/index.html

# Generate LCOV report
cargo llvm-cov --lcov --output-path target/llvm-cov/lcov.info

# Generate JSON report
cargo llvm-cov --json --output-path target/llvm-cov/coverage.json

# Show coverage as text summary
cargo llvm-cov --text

# Show coverage for specific files
cargo llvm-cov --text -- --show-instantiations
```

## Output Formats

```bash
# HTML report (interactive, line-by-line)
cargo llvm-cov --html --open

# LCOV format (compatible with many tools)
cargo llvm-cov --lcov --output-path lcov.info

# JSON format (programmatic analysis)
cargo llvm-cov --json --output-path coverage.json

# Cobertura XML (for Jenkins, GitLab)
cargo llvm-cov --cobertura --output-path cobertura.xml

# Text summary (terminal output)
cargo llvm-cov --text

# Multiple formats simultaneously
cargo llvm-cov --html --lcov --output-path lcov.info
```

## Coverage Thresholds for CI

```bash
# Fail if coverage is below threshold
cargo llvm-cov --fail-under-lines 80

# Multiple threshold types
cargo llvm-cov --fail-under-lines 80 --fail-under-functions 75

# Available threshold types
cargo llvm-cov --fail-under-lines 80      # Line coverage
cargo llvm-cov --fail-under-regions 80    # Region coverage
cargo llvm-cov --fail-under-functions 75  # Function coverage
```

### Threshold Configuration

Create a script or Makefile for consistent thresholds:

```makefile
# Makefile
.PHONY: coverage coverage-ci
