Filtering Data by Module, Object Library, or Class File

Related Topics

 

1.    Open the Filter Manager dialog box.

2.    Select the Modules tab, Object Libraries tab, or Class Files tab, depending on the type of program you're profiling.

3.    Select the module, object library, or class file (collectively referred to here as modules) whose data you want to filter from the current dataset. For example, Ctl3d32.dll.

4.    Click the selected module's checkbox to enable the filter.

5.    For the selected module, click Retain to continue including the time of filtered functions in the function + descendants (F+D) time of their callers, or click Delete to delete the time.

Notes:

§      This tab lists all modules that contain functions for which Quantify collected data. By default, Quantify filters functions for some modules and retains their time.

§      If you retain the time for a filtered module, Quantify removes from the current dataset all functions in that module that are called from other filtered modules. If a function in the module is called from an unfiltered module, the function is not removed.

§      If you delete the time for a filtered module, Quantify removes from the current dataset all functions in that module and deletes their time.

§      To disable a filter, click the selected module's checkbox. Quantify restores the functions to the current dataset and, if their time had been deleted, recalculates the dataset to include their time again.

§      Quantify automatically saves the filters you create in a Quantify filter file.

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

§      When you're working in the Call Graph, Function List, or Function Detail window, you can quickly filter data by module. Select a function in the module you want to filter, right-click in the window and select Filter > Hide modulename or Delete modulename from the shortcut menu, depending on whether you want to retain or delete the time. Quantify adds the module to the Filter list in the Filter Manager dialog box.
