Use minimal instrumentation when the module is larger than [threshold value] KB, PowerCheck tab, Settings Dialog Box (Error Detection)

Select whether you want Purify to use minimal or precise error-checking instrumentation on modules larger than the size you specify. In the size box, type the threshold value you want Purify to use when determining whether to use minimal or precise instrumentation. If you select this checkbox, Purify uses minimal instrumentation on modules larger than the size you specify.

Precise instrumentation provides full run-time error detection and precisely pinpoints problems in any component in the program. Minimal instrumentation provides quick instrumentation for modules whose errors are of less interest to you.

Note:

§      Purify requires relocation data for precise instrumentation. If relocation data isn't available, Purify uses minimal instrumentation.
