How to generate Test Coverage #198

   I wanted to see where testing could be improved, so I thought it would be a good idea to see the test coverage for the project. I tried my hand at setting up test coverage in https://github.com/Eunovo/libmultiprocess/tree/make-test-coverage

   The process to generate the test coverage is:

   0cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Coverage
   1cd build
   2make tests
   3cmake -DLCOV_OPTS="--ignore-errors mismatch"  -P Coverage.cmake
   

   The .gcno files are generated, but the .gcda files are not generated, so the process fails to complete. I’m not sure why the gcda files are not being generated. I can see gcov symbols when I do nm ./test/mptest | grep gcov, but it doesn’t work.

   I haven’t tried this, but you may be more successful with the llvm/clang coverage, similar to how it is documented for Bitcoin Core: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/6ca6f3b37b992591726bd13b494369bee3bd6468/doc/developer-notes.md#using-llvmclang-toolchain ?
