Error level: Precise; Module Instrumentation Dialog Box (Error Detection)
Select whether you want to use precise error-checking instrumentation for the modules selected in the Module list. With precise instrumentation, Purify uses Object Code Insertion (OCI) technology during instrumentation to insert checking instructions before each memory operation. These checking instructions validate every read, write, allocation and freeing of memory. Precise instrumentation provides full run-time error detection and precisely pinpoints problems in any component in the program.
Note:
§ Purify requires relocation data for precise instrumentation. If relocation data isn't available, Purify uses minimal instrumentation.
