In the standalone Purify interface, you can use the Run Control toolbar to start and stop program runs, attach your debugger to a running program, launch the debugger on warnings and errors, and merge and compare coverage data from multiple runs. The Run Control toolbar is a dockable toolbar. You can attach, or dock, the toolbar to any side of its parent window, or you can detach the toolbar and float it in its own mini-frame window.
The following are available for error detection runs:
|
Instruments and runs a native (unmanaged) executable (.exe), or runs a previously instrumented executable. |
|
Reruns the executable associated with the selected run. |
|
Stops the currently running program associated with the selected run. |
|
Starts your debugger and attaches it to the currently running program so you can debug the program within your debugger. |
|
Breaks on errors Purify detects during a run of the program and gives you the chance to start your debugger before the error occurs. Purify continues to break on errors until you click the tool again. Deselect Break on warnings in addition to errors in the Runs tab in the Preferences dialog box to break only on errors in the program, instead of both warnings and errors. |
|
Compares the coverage data from one run with the coverage data from another run, and creates a corresponding Diff entry in the Navigator. Available if Rational PureCoverage is installed on your system. |
|
Merges coverage data from one or more runs with the coverage data from the current run, and creates a corresponding Merge entry in the Navigator. You can save the results to a PureCoverage data file (.cfy) or to an ASCII text file (.txt). Available if Rational PureCoverage is installed on your system. |
Note:
n The disabled toolbuttons are enabled for memory profiling runs.
