Abstract
This thesis presents the design and implementation of Modified Condition / Decision Coverage (MC/DC) instrumentation in the Green Hills C/C++ compiler. When a specfic option is enabled, the compiler now identied each boolean expression and annotates the generated binary with special instructions. When a test suite is run, these extra instructions emit logging information. A separate program then uses that information to determine and display the degree of coverage achieved. Taken together, my tools allow a user to run any program and determine the extent of MC/DC coverage achieved by their tests.
