Intel® Inspector Tutorial: Analyzing
Threading
 Errors in a
C++
 Sample Application for
Linux*
OS

Intel® Inspector
 is a dynamic memory and threading error checking tool for users developing serial and multithreaded applications on Windows* and Linux* operating systems.
This tutorial - and
C++
 sample application you can use to follow along - show how to use the Intel inspector on a
Linux*
platform to analyze
threading
 errors.
Intel® Inspector
 is available as a standalone product and as part of the following products:
  • Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit
  • Intel® oneAPI IoT Toolkit
About This Tutorial
This tutorial demonstrates an end-to-end workflow you can ultimately apply to your own applications:
  1. Build an application to produce an optimal inspection result.
  2. Inspect an application to find
    threading
     errors.
  3. Edit application code to fix the
    threading
     errors.
  4. Rebuild and reinspect the application.
It was last updated for the 2017 product release. (The only variance for the 2018 product release is screenshot background color.)
Estimated Duration
10-15 minutes.
Learning Objectives
After you complete this tutorial, you should be able to:
  • List the steps to find and fix
    threading
     errors using the
    Intel Inspector
    .
  • Define key
    Intel Inspector
     terms.
  • Identify compiler/linker options that produce the most accurate and complete analysis results.
  • Run
    threading
     error analyses.
  • Influence analysis scope and running time.
  • Navigate among windows in the
    Intel Inspector
     results.
  • Display a prioritized
    to-do
     list for fixing errors.
  • Access help for fixing specific errors.
  • Access source code to fix errors.
