This dialog box shows you the current values of certain Purify runtime options, and lets you modify them for the next run of the program.
As you move the mouse over the option items, a brief description of the option's function appears in the upper of the two lines near the lower edge of the dialog. When you click or type to set option values, the option string ijn the form recognized by Purify appears in the lower line. If you want to set an option value permanently, you can copy and paste this line with the mouse. You can set the environment variable:
setenv PURIFYOPTIONS "-show-pc -log_file=foo"
or you can build option values into the executable at link time to provide altered default values at runtime:
purify -g++=yes -chain-length=10 gcc $OBJS
Notes:
You cannot change the value of a runtime option while a program is running. Any changes you make take effect the next time the program runs and has attached to this Purify Viewer. This is because the application and the Viewer must agree on the options values during the initial handshake. Once the application is running, there is no way to change the options in force for that run.
To display the Runtime Options dialog box, select Options > Runtime in the Purify Viewer.
