Purify is the industry leading run-time error detection product for
Windows NT and UNIX developers. Pure Atria's patented OCI technology is at
the heart of Purify, enabling Purify to comprehensively identify a range
of memory-related software errors anywhere theyoccur within a software
application, including third-party and shared libraries. By automatically
identifying memory access errors, Purify greatly reduces the amount of
time developers spend debugging code and increases the performance and
reliability of software programs.
Supported Environments:
Sun SPARC workstations running SunOS 4.x
Sun SPARC workstations running Solaris 2.3 - 2.5.1
HP9000 Series 700 workstations running HP-UX 8.07, 9.0.x and 10.x
HP9000 Series 800 workstations running HP-UX 8.07, 9.0.x and 10.x
SGI workstations running IRIX 5.2, 5.3 and 6.2
It's commercial software which retails for US$1398. You can download it
from the net and evaluate it for 15-days, from the website.
Personal opinion: It is an awesome program.
