transient state
For native-compiled applications using selective instrumentation, an instrumentation state that causes a module to be temporarily replaced with an instrumented copy each time you run your program in the Rational Runtime Analysis tool. When your program exits, the original, uninstrumented version of the module is restored.
Selective instrumentation states are supported for native-compiled (unmanaged) code only.
Note: When you instrument a module such as a .dll or an ActiveX control in the transient state, analysis data is collected the first time you load and execute the module. If your program unloads the module and then reloads it during the same program run, data will not be collected for the subsequent execution. To collect data for a module each time you reload it during a program run, instrument the module in the permanent state.
