Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2015 Composer Edition for C++ Linux*
Installation Guide and Release Notes 25
If you have already created a static analysis result that was affected by this issue and you are
able to open that result in the Intel® Inspector XE GUI, then you can hide the undesired
messages as follows:
 The messages you will want to suppress are “Arg count mismatch” and “Arg type
mismatch”. For each problem type, do the following:
 Click on the undesired problem type in the Problem filter. This hides all other problem
types.
 Click on any problem in the table of problem sets
 Type control-A to select all the problems
 Right click and select Change State -> Not a problem from the pop-up menu to set the
state of all the undesired problems
 Reset the filter on problem type to All
 Repeat for the other unwanted problem type
 Set the Investigated/Not investigated filter to Not investigated. You may have to scroll
down in the filter pane to see it as it is near the bottom. This hides all the undesired
messages because the “Not a problem” state is considered a “not investigated” state.
