Intel® Inspector Tutorial: Analyzing Memory Errors in a C++ Sample Application for Linux* OS
Sanitizers in Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler and Intel® Fortran Compiler help effectively pinpoint memory, address, threading, and undefined behavior related issues early in the development process. Sanitizers offer faster time to results, fewer false positives, and improved compiler integration compared to Intel Inspector. As a result, Intel Inspector will no longer be included in the Intel® HPC Toolkit. It continues to be downloadable as a standalone package and it will be discontinued in 2025 or later. Customers who have purchased Intel® Priority Support will continue to receive support. Please see Intel Inspector deprecation article for more information.
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 tutorial - and C++ sample application you can use to follow along - show how to use the Intel inspector on a Linux* platform to analyze memory errors.
Intel® Inspector is available as a standalone product and as part of the following products:
Intel® HPC Toolkit
Intel® IoT Toolkit
