Clear Cache, Module Coverage Dialog Box

Select whether 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 PureCoverage reinstruments all modules.

Notes:

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

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

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

§      You must delete the files in your cache directory if you update a component of PureCoverage.

§      PureCoverage 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.
