Runtime Analysis and Error Detection
Insure++ is a runtime memory analysis and error detection tool for C and C++ that automatically identifies a variety of difficult-to-track programming and memory-access errors, along with potential defects and inefficiencies in memory usage. Errors such as memory corruption, memory leaks, access outside of array bounds, invalid pointers, and the like often go undetected during normal testing, only to result in application crashes in the field. Insure++ will help you find and eliminate such defects in your applications to ensure the integrity of their memory usage.
During testing, Insure++ checks all types of memory references, including those to static (global), stack, and shared memory — both in user’s code and in third party libraries. Errors that Insure++ detects include:
- Corrupted heap and stack memory
- Use of uninitialized variables and objects
- Array and string bounds errors on heap and stack
- Use of dangling, NULL, and uninitialized pointers
- All types of memory allocation and free errors or mismatches
- All types of memory leaks
- Type mismatches in global declarations, pointers, and function calls
- Some varieties of dead code (compile-time)
HERE’S WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY:
David Miller, IT Manager, Hewlett-Packard – “Problems that used to take us several days or even weeks to track down, we are able to routinely find and fix in a few hours with Insure++. So, Insure++ is now a standard tool that is used on all software that we develop before it is released. Our engineering team is very enthusiastic about it and management is convinced that it was well worth the money.”
