Product Overview

PurifyPlus RealTime is a complete solution for runtime analysis on embedded and real-time platforms that allows you to detect memory leaks, make your code faster, locate dead or unexecuted portions of code and visually follow the execution of your code.

With one mouse click, your target-based application is equipped with the robust functionality of these components:

• Memory Profiling: Providing memory leak detection for all of your C, C++ and Java code
• Performance Profiling: Providing function-level performance profiling for all of your C, C++ and Java code
• Code Coverage: Providing full code coverage and metrics for C, C++, Java and Ada in a color-coded source-code GUI
• Runtime Tracing: Providing run-time-generated UML sequence diagrams of interactions between C, C++ and Java modules, classes, and instances

 

Discover the power of Rational PurifyPlus RealTime's run-time analysis capabilities. Know your code inside and out without having to change the way you work.




Known Issues

Code Coverage All - 2002.05.01/1338 (-) Coverage results (in CLI mode) are not appended anymore to 'attolcov.tio'

Coverage results are now ouput into the file "atlout.spt" and in create mode.
The file 'attolcov.tio' is created by calling the batch tool atlsplit on
the 'atlout.spt' file. The default filename 'attolcov.tio' can still be changed
using the "ATC_TRACES" environment variable. The test timestamp (line DT in the
tio file) is written by the atlsplit tool and not anymore by the TDP.

 
Documentation N/A - 2002.05.00/1018 (-) License Administration Guide refers to Rational Suite

The License Administration Guide document provided with the product refers to
Rational Suite, but in fact also applies to Rational PurifyPlus RealTime as well as
other Rational Software products.

 

GUI Ada - v2002 Release 2/1797 (-) Wizard does not accept to generate a node for an Ada compilation unit
consisting only of a procedure


When using the wizard to generate a test node based on a procedure only, the unit is not 
shown in the dialogue to select the code under test.

Work-Around :

Press cancel within the wizard, go to the project window, select the 
Asset view > "By File," select the file containing the procedure to be tested, 
and click on the right mouse button. Select the "Test..." field. 
The wizard will reopen, and this time the Unit under test is correctly selected. 
Proceed as usual.


GUI N/A - 2002.05.20/1691 (-) In GUI "clear all" also deletes all files copied in directory for intermediate files

In the directory of intermediate files ( with TDP Name ), if you put a file which is needed for 
execution ( ex: a dll ) if you make a clear all, this file will be deleted.

Work-Around :

Put in read only the file.


GUI Java - v2002 Release 2/1552 (-) Runtime tracing report for Java application references classes not located within
the application


JVMPI classes are not filtered in the runtime tracing report. This affects all 
runtime tracing reports other than the one that is dynamically generated during 
application execution.

Work-Around :

JVMPI is only used by the memory profiling feature. When memory profiling is 
not performed, the JVMPI classes will not appear in a runtime tracing report.


GUI N/A - 2002.05.20/1455 (-) Launching GUI to an Exceed Server Windows will kill the X Server

Running the GUI from a Solaris session displaying to a Exceed version 5.00 server running on 
Windows 2000 causes the server to abort.

Work-Around :

Upgrade to Exceed 7.0 or later.


GUI N/A - 2002.05.00/1348 (-) GUI color on HP

Limited choice of colors available for the GUI on HP-UX workstations running
CDE on a 256 color display.

Work-Around :

Use the QtConfig tool to customize the color map.


Runtime Tracing C++ - 2002.05.00/1165 (-) The by default sequence diagram printing functionality does not work correctly

On Unix and Windows, the by default Runtime Tracing printing functionality does not work 
correctly (when all the pages are selected for printing, only the first page is 
printed). This printing defect occurs only for the Runtime Tracing diagram. 

Work-Around :

Select a range to print for example page 1 to 6.
