Intel Inspector XE is a powerful and easy-to-use memory and threading error checking tool for C, C++, C# .NET, and Fortran developers designing serial and parallel applications.
Intel Inspector XE enhances developer productivity and facilitates application reliability, by effectively finding crucial memory and threading defects early in the development cycle. Users will be able to improve application reliability thanks to Intel Inspector XE's detailed insights into application memory and threading behavior.
Intel Inspector XE makes it easier to find latent errors on the executed code path. It also finds intermittent and non-deterministic errors, even if the error-causing timing scenario does not happen. In addition, developers can test their code more often, without the need to use special test builds or compilers.
Here are some key features of "Intel Inspector XE 2011 (formerly Intel Thread Checker)":
· Powerful error checking - Memory and threading error checking in one tool for serial and parallel code
· Guidance - Maps errors to the source- code line and call stack
· Simplified - Intuitive GUI provides common look and feel across Windows and Linux

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
This is the first release of the Intel Inspector XE product which is a successor to the Intel® Thread Checker. The following are some key new features in this next generation product:
· Find memory errors in addition to threading errors
· Find memory and threading errors in source code using the Static Security Analysis feature of Intel® Compiler XE and then view, filter and process the results in the Intel Inspector XE when both the products are installed as part of Intel Parallel Studio XE
· New dynamic instrumentation implementation to accelerate analysis (only executed code is instrumented)
· New standalone GUI on all supported Operating Systems
· New grouping of related diagnostics, diagnostic suppression and a powerful results filtering interface
· Supports analysis of managed code (C# .NET)
