Rebuild and Rerun Analysis

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 topic is part of a
tutorial
 that shows how to find and fix
threading
 errors using the
Intel Inspector
 and a
C++
 sample application.
To check if your edits resolved the
Data race
 problems:

Rebuild the Application

If you are using the Visual Studio* IDE:
  1. Choose
    Build
    Clean Solution
    .
  2. Choose
    Build
    Rebuild Solution
    .
If you are using the
Intel Inspector
 standalone GUI:
  1. In the previously opened command prompt window, change directory to the
    tachyon_insp_xe\
     directory.
  2. Type
    devenv vc10\tachyon_insp_xe.sln /Clean
    .
  3. Type
    devenv vc10\tachyon_insp_xe.sln /Build
    .

Rerun the Analysis

To run another analysis of the same analysis type:
  • From the Visual Studio* menu, choose
    Tools
     >
    Intel Inspector [version]
     >
    Threading Error Analysis / Detect Deadlocks and Data Races
    .
  • From the
    Intel Inspector
     standalone GUI menu, choose
    File
    New
    Threading Error Analysis / Detect Deadlocks and Data Races
    .
Notice the application output now displays properly.
The
Summary
 window automatically displays after analysis (both collection and finalization) completes successfully:
Summary window
Notice the
Intel Inspector
:
  • Created a new result tab:
    r002ti2
