This is an interim fix. It has not been fully validated by IBM.
The product changes described in this document apply to version 7.0.1.0 of Rational PurifyPlus for Windows. This interim fix should not be applied to versions earlier than 7.0.1.0.
Components of PurifyPlus include:
References to PurifyPlus in these release notes apply to Purify, Quantify and PureCoverage.
This build of PurifyPlus provides the following:
Note: Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 provide a feature called Fault Tolerant Heap that can be enabled dynamically for a program. If it is enabled for a program being analyzed by Purify it will interfere with Purify's ability to detect heap operations. See this MSDN article for details about disabling the Fault Tolerant Heap or resetting the list of programs to which it is being applied. The Fault Tolerant Heap should be disabled or reset if it is enabled for a Purify'd program. Our recommendation is that you disable it on a development machine where you are using Purify.
In addition this interim fix resolves defects in version 7.0.1.0 of Rational PurifyPlus for Windows. The table below describes the issues resolved since 7.0.1.0 was released. Because interim and limited availability interim fixes are cumulative, the previous interim fix where each fix was delivered is identified. Fixes first delivered in the current interim fix are highlighted in gray.
