Actions Modified
Description
Use the
appdebug
 action-option to set when to stop application execution and connect the application to the debugger. Useful for examining application state when
Intel Inspector
 detects recognized problem types (break events).
  • The GNU gdb* debugger is launched by default.
  • If the Intel® Debugger is installed and in your path, you can launch the GUI or command-line version by setting the environment variable
    INSPXE_DEBUGGER
     to
    idb
     or
    idbc
    .
  • This is low cost for memory error analysis, but can be high cost for threading error analysis.
The debugger is not supported for the
mi1
 analysis type.
Example
Perform a
Locate Memory Problems
 analysis and connect to the debugger only when an application error is detected. 
$ inspxe-cl -collect mi3 -appdebug on-error -- ./test_memory.gcc
