I'm trying to use CLions interface to gcov but I'm not using the default g++ compiler (for Ubuntu 18.04). Therefore my version of gcov (7.5) is incompatible with my compiler (10.1).
How can I install gcov that works with gcc / g++ 10.1 ?
I've tried:
- sudo apt install gcov
- sudo apt install gcov-10
- sudo apt install gcov-dev

I had a similar issue and I found a way to update gcov between gcc 7 and 8 which needed a gcov and gcovr update as well as different versions of python (python 3). see more details here: how-to-update-install-gcovr-to-match-my-updated-compiler-gcc
Hopefully this answers your question if you have not answered it yourself after 6 months :)
