[Haskell-cafe] Why many .tix files are generated in Haskell Program Coverage

[Vanessa McHale]

What I would do would be run

cabal test --enable-coverage

cabal-install has reasonably good support for coverage builds

Cheers,
Vanessa

However, after adding the -fhpc option to GHC and running the program, two .tix files are generated. One is test-pandoc.tix in the main directory and the other is pandoc.tix under the "test" directory (test/pandoc.tix). These two files have different contents and I just cannot see the meaning of them from their names. Moreover, I tried to execute "hpc show xxx.tix" for them and test/pandoc.tix gives "hpc: hash in tix file for module Main does not match hash in ./.hpc/Main.mix".
