Troubleshooting Application Crashes

Symptoms

The application crashes when you run an
Intel Inspector
 analysis.

Details

Both the application and the
Intel Inspector
 run in the same address space. This means:
  • A bug that can cause the application to crash while running without the
    Intel Inspector
     can cause the application to crash while running with the
    Intel Inspector
    .
  • A bug that does not manifest itself and does not cause the application to crash while running without the
    Intel Inspector
     may manifest itself and cause the application to crash while running with the
    Intel Inspector
     because of parallel non-deterministic scheduling or techniques used to detect incorrect memory accesses.

Possible Correction Strategies

  • Use a conventional debugger to debug the crash.
  • Run a memory error analysis to help debug memory-related crashes before running a threading error analysis.
  • If the application crashes during analysis and the
    Intel Inspector
     reports errors before the application crashes, interpret the result data to determine if any of the reported errors caused the crash. A likely culprit should be near the bottom of the
    Collection Log
     pane.
  • Contact the Intel Customer Support team by email. Include a description of the steps leading up to the problem, the generated problem report, and the corresponding result directory.
