Advanced Options

If you need to fine tune MemoryScape behavior, use the Advanced Options display on the Memory Debugging Options screen.

Select the Advanced Options button to display advanced options, Figure 40.

NOTE >> The only way to reliably place MemoryScape configuration information into remote processes is to set the TVHEAP_ARGS variable. For information, see TVHEAP_ARGS.

Use the Basic Options button to return to the original display.

This screen has six sets of controls. In this figure, all six are selected. The initial options set here are pre-determined by the Low, Medium, High, and Extreme selections in the basic screen.

NOTE >> Notice the process controls on the left of this screen. Select one or more processes to limit the activities being performed.

Activities you can modify, enable, or disable:

• Halt execution at process exit (standalone MemoryScape only)

• Halt execution on memory event or error

• Guard allocated memory

• Use Red Zones to find memory access violations

• Paint memory

• Hoard deallocated memory
