Information AboutInsure Plus Plus |
Insure++ is a Memory Debugger Computer Program , used by Software developers to detect various errors in programs written in C and C++ . It is made by Parasoft , and is functionally similar to other memory debuggers, such as Purify and Valgrind . Insure++ can automatically find erroneous accesses to free()d memory, array bounds violations, freeing unallocated memory (which often happens when a programmer free()s the same memory twice, or when he free()s global or stack memory), and many others. Unlike Purify and Valgrind, Insure++ inserts its instrumentation at the source code level, which allows it to detect errors that the other tools miss. In particular, Insure++ can detect Buffer Overflow s in automatic arrays, and overflows which involve pointers that accidentally "jump" from one valid memory region to another, as in the following example: #include int main() {
return 0; } Also the source level instrumentation allows it to not only identify that a leak occurred, but where it occurred. Some tools merely provide information about where the memory was allocated, Insure++ also gives a stack trace for when/where the actual leak occurred. EXTERNAL LINKS |
