The third step in Purify'ing your native-compiled Visual C/C++ program is to focus the data you have collected.
Purify collects and displays a large volume of error data, even for a mid-sized program. By default, it excludes certain modules from instrumentation and data collection, and uses filters to hide non-critical data from the display. Purify makes these mechanisms and others available so that you can focus your data more exactly and find the information you need.
To focus your collected data, you can do the following:
§ Create a QuickFilter to hide specific messages from the display.
§ Use the Create Filter Tool to hide a broad range of messages.
§ Use the Purify Filter Manager to create more complex filters, including inverted filters.
Techniques for focusing data are essential, given the completeness of the data Purify collects. For a list of the ways you can focus data, click .
