Errors and Leaks Tab - Properties Dialog Box (Error Detection)

Related Topics

Use the Errors and Leaks tab in the Properties dialog box to view the error and leak options associated with the selected run of a native-compiled (unmanaged) program.

You can view information on options such as how Purify displays messages, whether Purify records Uninitialized Memory Copy (UMC) messages, the amount of information displayed within messages, whether Purify scans for memory leaks, memory in use, and handles in use when you exit the program, the deferred free queue length and threshold, and the length defined for red zones.

These are the main controls in the dialog box:

Error suppression: Show first message only

Error suppression: Show UMC messages

Call stack: Show maximum call stack detail

Call stack: length for errors

Call stack: length for allocations

Report at exit: Memory leaks

Report at exit: Memory in use

Notes:

§      To change settings for future runs of the program, use the Errors and Leaks tab in the Settings for exename dialog box.

§      Properties are the combination of default and executable settings that you specified at the time the program was instrumented and run. Properties also include information about the modules Purify instrumented, the log Purify created when it instrumented files, and other run details.
