Related Topics

 

1.    Open the Default Settings or Executable Settings dialog box, or click Settings in the Run Program dialog box.

2.    Select the PowerCheck tab.

3.    Select whether to use minimal or precise instrumentation for error checking on modules without debug line data.

4.    Select whether to use minimal or precise instrumentation for error checking on modules larger than the size you specify.

5.    If you are collecting coverage data, select whether to use Line or Function as the default instrumentation level for coverage monitoring.

6.    Select whether to exclude all modules in Windows directories from coverage monitoring.

Notes:

§      To specify how to instrument specific modules in the program, click Configure... in the Modules to Instrument group in the PowerCheck tab.

§      The availability of relocation data, debug line data, and symbol data affects the level at which Purify can perform instrumentation. For more information, click images\shortcut.gif

§      Use the Modules tab in the Properties dialog box after the program has exited to see exactly how Purify instrumented each module. Purify's default instrumentation for error checking is based on the size of each module in the program and the availability of debug line data, so modules may occasionally be instrumented at a level that you did not intend.
