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
memory
 errors using the
Intel Inspector
 and a
C++
 sample application.
To check if your edits fixed the
Mismatched allocation/deallocation
 problem:

Rebuild the Application

In the terminal session:
  1. Change directory to the
    tachyon_insp_xe/
     directory.
  2. Type
    make
    .

Rerun the Analysis

To run another analysis of the same analysis type:
In the
Intel Inspector
 standalone GUI, choose
File
New
Memory Error Analysis / Detect Memory Problems
.
Notice the application output now displays properly.
The
Summary
 window automatically displays after analysis (both collection and finalization) completes successfully:
