Historical Data

 

There may be occasions when you want control over when to keep or discard information on older data. This may depend on:

 

•your computer's RAM capacity

•virtual memory storage

•the task you are trying to complete

•the target program being inspected

 

Two options allow you to Discard stack traces for...

 

• ...destroyed/closed synchronization objects and handles discard information about these freed handles

 

When selected you can specify How many freed traces to keep. The default is 10,000.

 

Data is discarded on a first deallocated, first discarded basis, so most recent deallocations are always kept.

 

 

• ...TRACE messages and informational traces discard older information about these items, including Sleep()

 

When selected you can specify How many traces to keep. The default is 10,000.

 

 

Note that the less information kept about deallocated data, the smaller the memory requirements placed on your computer.
