Tutorial: Analyzing Memory Errors With Intel® Inspector and a C++ Sample Application for Linux* OS
Summary
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 memory errors using the Intel Inspector and a C++ sample application.
This tutorial demonstrated an end-to-end workflow you can ultimately apply to your own applications.

Key Tutorial Take-aways |
|---|---|---|
1. Set up |
You built the application using optimal compiler/linker settings, ensured the application runs on your system outside the Intel Inspector, set up the Intel Inspector environment, and created a project to hold analysis results. |
Applications compiled and linked in debug mode using the following options produce the most accurate and complete analysis results: -g, -O0, -shared-intel for Intel® compilers, or default or -Bdynamic for GNU compilers, and no -fmudflap. |
2. Collect result |
You chose an analysis type and ran an analysis. During analysis, the Intel Inspector:
|
|
3. Investigate result |
You explored detected problems, interpreted the result data, accessed an editor directly from the Intel Inspector, and changed source code. |
|
4. Check your work |
You recompiled, relinked, and reinspected the application. |
Next step: Prepare your own application(s) for analysis. Then use the Intel Inspector to find and fix errors.
