Use the Instrumenting dialog box to monitor the instrumentation progress of native-compiled (unmanaged) programs and associated modules.
Purify displays the name and size of the file being instrumented and how Purify is instrumenting each file. Purify also displays a progress bar for each file it is instrumenting. Purify can display the following colors in the progress bar:
Blue |
Indicates that file instrumentation was successful. |
Yellow |
Indicates an instrumentation warning. If Purify detects warnings, it continues to instrument the program and then displays the Instrumentation Warning dialog box so you can select whether to run the program. |
Red |
Indicates an instrumentation error. If Purify detects errors, it stops instrumenting the file and displays the Instrumentation Error dialog box so you can view the instrumentation log information. |
When the program loads a DLL, Purify displays "Instrumenting Dllname.dll" in the Error View's title bar. Purify displays all instrumentation information in the Log tab in the Properties dialog box.
Notes:
§ Instrumentation dialog boxes appear only when you are instrumenting native-compiled (unmanaged) programs.
§ Click Cancel Instrumentation to stop instrumenting the program and close the dialog box.
§ Use the Runs tab in the Preferences dialog box to specify whether you want to see this dialog box when you instrument.
§ If the program includes debug data files (such as .pdb, .map, or .dbg), Purify also instruments these files, but they do not appear in this dialog box.
§ If you previously instrumented and ran the program with Purify, Purify instruments only the new or updated files; otherwise, it uses the instrumented versions already in the cache directory. For previously cached files, Purify uses the timestamp and instrumentation level to determine whether the file needs to be reinstrumented. If you change the instrumentation level, Purify automatically deletes the cached version and reinstruments the file the next time you run the program.
§ Minimize or close this dialog box to instrument in the background and continue working with Purify.
