I haven't done cpp in a long time, is that something really new? Sounds like something pretty usual theses days with other "mainstream" languages. Also, because you messed up the parameter order, in the end, we don't know: does it create the directory automatically? (sorry, kind of nitpicking here, and also lazy of me for not trying that out myself).
It does create the output directory, if it doesn't exist. kcov was first released in 2010, originally as a fork of bcov which is even older than that, so I guess it doesn't qualify as very new :-) And of course gcov has existed since the beginning of time, but I hope kcov should make for a slightly easier interface than gcov and it's wrappers.
Shout out to the author Simon Kågström. Github repo is on github.com/SimonKagstrom/kcov
You forgot to put source in description :P

I'm guessing it's more about how easy it is to use.
