Does Inspector XE work with TBB application?

[missing__zlw]

It seems Valgrind doesn't work with TBB memory allocator.

How about Inspector XE? Does it detect problem using TBB memory allocators? Not false violation report?

Do I need to turn on some special settings? I am working on Linux.

Any examples on using Inspector XE with TBB application?

Thanks.

Hello,

Yes, Intel Inspector XE supports TBB memory allocator, it should work without special settings.

I just wrote a simple tbb example, which used scalable_malloc() and forgot to use scalable_free()

[cpp]#include 
#include 
#include "tbb/scalable_allocator.h"

#define LEN_STR 1024

using namespace tbb;

int main()
{

    char *str = (char *)scalable_malloc(LEN_STR*sizeof(char));
    strcpy (str, "This is an example to use tbb scalable");
    printf ("%sn",str);

    // Forget to do "scalable_free"
    return(1);

}
[/cpp]

#source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.7.256/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
# icpc -g tbb_scalable.cpp -ltbb_debug -ltbbmalloc -o tbb_scalable

This is an example to use tbb scalable

1 new problem(s) found
1 Memory leak problem(s) detected

# inspxe-cl -report problems

Problem P1: Error: Memory leak

You can see one memory leak detected, allocation site is at source line #12.
So Inspector XE can detect problem using TBB memory allocators.

Any examples on using Inspector XE with TBB application?

If you have TBB v4.xinstalled on your system please take a look at \Examples folder. There are
24 test applications in the folderand anytest applicationcan be used with Inspector XE.
