System APIs Supported During Threading Error Analysis

The following table lists the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows* OS threading and synchronization APIs currently supported by the Intel Inspector during threading error analysis. Check the Release Notes to see if support for new APIs has been recently added.

If an API is not supported, the Intel Inspector may report false positive (non-existent) data races problems in functions using the API.
