Code coverage in Qt Creator using MinGW

Question

How to generate and view code coverage using Qt Creator with MinGW on Windows?

I'm already able to generate it using GCOV and LCOV on OS X with the following flags in my .pro file:

mac {
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += --coverage
    QMAKE_LFLAGS += --coverage
}

I have accomplished that by following this tutorial.

What tools/flags should I use to generate and view the code coverage on Windows?

Note: on OS X I'm using Clang.

Update:

I have successfully generated the GCNO and GCDA files, but I don't know how can I access/visualize the code coverage properly.

As far as I know, LCOV doesn't work on Windows.

I found the Ported to Windows LCOV Code Coverage tool project on Github and I will try to use it.

You added this to the `mac` section, yet you're running Windows. Why? — MrEricSir, Nov 08 '17 at 16:35
@MrEricSir actually the application is multi platform so I would need to generate the code coverage on both Windows and OS X. Until now I have only followed the tutorial mentioned (for OS X). As I explained, I read that the GCOV doesn't work with MinGW, but I have not tried it yet. — KelvinS, Nov 08 '17 at 17:09

For this platform case your .pro file should contain:

win32 {
  # MinGW-related settings
}
