Errors and Leaks tab - Default Settings Dialog Box (Error Detection)

Related Topics

Use the Errors and Leaks tab in the Default Settings dialog box to specify default error and leak settings that apply to all runs of native-compiled (unmanaged) programs.

You can specify settings 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 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

Report at exit: Handles in use

Deferred free queue: Length

Deferred free queue: Threshold

Red zone length

Notes:

§      Purify saves settings for all programs in the Purifyw_pure.ini file. For details about .ini file names and their locations, click images\shortcut.gif.

§      These settings apply for all future runs of all programs. You can override default settings for a specific program by selecting Settings > Executable Settings.
