Parasoft Insure++

Insure++ enables fast, reliable detection and resolution of elusive runtime memory errors.

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)

Insure++ Features

• Detection of memory corruption on heap and stack
• Detection of uninitialized variables, pointers, and objects
• Detection of memory leaks and other memory allocation/free errors
• STL checking** for proper usage of STL containers and related memory errors
• Compile-time checks for type- and size-related errors
• Runtime tracing of function calls
• GUI and command line interface
• Memory error checking in 3rd party static and dynamic libraries
• Direct interfaces with Visual Studio debugger

Insure++ Benefits

• Finds memory errors before they become runtime problems
• Finds common errors during 64 bit porting
• Helps optimize memory usage of applications
• Reduces development and support costs
• Easily integrates with regression test suites in “smoke alarm” mode
• Provides detailed stack traces of errors to help understand their causes
