Clear Cache, Quantify Module Instrumentation Dialog Box

Click to delete all files in the cache directory before you run a program. Use this option when you are using inclusive instrumentation, and you need to ensure that Quantify reinstruments all modules.

Notes:

§      This feature applies only to runs of native-compiled (unmanaged) programs using inclusive instrumentation.

§      Clear Cache does not delete files that were instrumented using selective instrumentation.

§      Quantify uses a module's timestamp and the requested measurement type to determine whether to reinstrument the module. If you request line level for a module but do not provide debug data, Quantify actually times the module. If you later provide debug data and run the program again, Quantify will not reinstrument the module because the requested measurement type is unchanged. You can use this option to ensure that Quantify reinstruments the module at line level using the debug data.

§      As Quantify does not automatically delete files from the cache directory, this option is also useful when you have accumulated many unused files in the cache directory over time.
