Filter Manager: Coverage Data Dialog Box

Related Topics

Use the Filter Manager: Coverage Data dialog box to show or hide coverage data for functions based on module names, source file names, and function names. You can choose whether to distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters when filtering data.

The Filter Manager tabs list fully qualified names and pattern strings used to hide functions. The Modules tab also lists all modules that contain functions for which Purify collected data. Initially, Purify automatically filters out non-critical coverage data from system libraries and other modules, files, and functions.

These are the main controls in the Filter Manager tabs:

Modules filter list

Files filter list

Functions filter list

Pattern

Add

Remove

Case sensitive

Save Settings

Revert to Saved

Reset to Default

Apply

Notes:

§      Warning: Using the options in these tabs could accidentally hide all data from the data coverage windows. To avoid this situation, Purify reapplies your previous filter set. If an Annotated Source window is open for a file and you filter all the functions in that file, Purify closes the window.

§      The Filter Manager: Coverage Data dialog box is available only if you have Rational PureCoverage installed.

§      When you filter functions by pattern strings, Purify compares the pattern strings against function names and hides all functions in all modules, that match the pattern. Purify uses the full name to match patterns, regardless of settings in the Function Name dialog box.

§      Click Save Settings to save any filter changes you made for future runs of the program. Purify saves the filters you create in the PureCoverage filter file Exename_exe.cft.

§      The filter file Coveragew_exe.cft contains global coverage filters Purify uses to hide non-critical data from system libraries and other modules before it displays a program's coverage data.

§      For details about filter file names and their locations, click images\shortcut.gif.

§      If you create, edit, and apply filters, and then want to use your previously saved filters, click Revert to Saved, and then click Save Settings again to save it for future runs. If you want to use the Purify global coverage filters again, click Reset to Default, and then click Save Settings again to save it for future runs.

§      Right-click a selected filter to display a shortcut menu for working with the filter.
