Prerequisites
You can use the Intel Inspector to analyze memory and threading errors in both debug and release modes of
C++ and Fortran binaries. To build applications that produce the most accurate and complete Intel Inspector
analysis results:
• Build your application in debug mode.
• Use optimal compiler/linker settings. For more information, see Building Applications in Intel Inspector
Help.
• Ensure your application creates more than one thread before you run threading analyses.
In addition:
• Verify your application runs outside the Intel Inspector environment.
• Ensure you set the EDITOR or VISUAL environment variable to your text editor.
• Do one of the following to set up your environment:
• Run one of the following source commands:
• For csh/tcsh users: source <inspector-install-dir>/inspxe-vars.csh
• For bash users: source <inspector-install-dir>/inspxe-vars.sh
• The name of this script for the application as part of an Intel
®
oneAPI HPC Toolkit or Intel

• /opt/intel/oneapi/inspector for root users
• $HOME/intel/oneapi/inspector for non-root users
• Add <inspector-install-dir>/bin32 or <inspector-install-dir>/bin64 to your path.
