minimal level
A level of error-checking instrumentation that provides quick instrumentation for modules whose errors are of limited interest to you. Minimal level instrumentation does not detect the following errors and warnings within those modules:
§ Exception messages (EX*).
§ Memory errors on the stack.
§ Heap messages (UMR, AB*, FM*, IP*, NP*, BS*), unless they were called through an API function. However, heap write errors can be detected at a later point. When this occurs, Late Detect Array Bounds Write (ABWL) and Late Detect Free Memory Write (FMWL) messages are displayed in the Error View.
Relocation data is required for minimal instrumentation. If relocation data isn't available, the module is excluded from instrumentation.
