Third-party Suppression Files
The command line interface
convert-suppression-file
action converts suppression files from the following products to the current
Intel Inspector
suppression file format:
- Third-party software
- IBM Rational* PurifyPlus* suppression files (Linux* OS only)
- Valgrind* suppression files (Linux OS only)
- Previous versions of theIntel Inspectorsuppression files (Linux and Windows* OS)
During conversion, the
Intel Inspector
:
- Reads the suppression file to internal structures.
- Converts third-party product messages/errors toIntel Inspectorproblem types.
- Skips suppression rules that cannot be converted.
- Writes the converted data to anIntel Inspectorsuppression file.
- Reports all errors encountered during processing.
Even with a completely successful conversion, you may still need to fine-tune the contents of the converted suppression file using a text editor.

Valgrind software detects uninitialized memory problems differently than the
Intel Inspector
. This difference impacts the stacks each product detects, which impacts the corresponding suppression files.
