RELEASE NOTES - ANALYZETOOL v1.10.0

RELEASED 2nd July 2010

SUPPORTS SYMBIAN^1+

===============================================================================

Product Description:

====================

AnalyzeTool is a dynamic test tool that is used for testing Symbian software

for memory and resource leaks and pinpointing the leaks from the source code.

Main Features:

==============

- Pinpoints memoryleaks from target hardware and emulator to source code lines

- Discovers resource leaks from processes

- Command line interface and Carbide.c++ Extension

===============================================================================

What's New in v1.10.0

====================

- Change: Storage server was removed

- Change: New trace format

- Change: Logging to binary file added

- Change: Capture of reallocations implemented

===============================================================================

Installation Notes:

===================

AnalyzeTool is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the

ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-

directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.

In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the

internal\sis directory.

When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are

needed:

  ReadDeviceData

  WriteDeviceData

  DiskAdmin

  AllFiles

  SwEvent

  NetworkServices

  LocalServices

  ReadUserData

  WriteUserData

  Location

  UserEnvironment

  CommDD

  PowerMgmt

  MultimediaDD

  DRM

  TrustedUI

  ProtServ

  NetworkControl

  SurroundingsDD

  TCB

When builing AnalyzeTool against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK

environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the

instructions under the "envpatcher" directory.

===============================================================================

System Requirements:

====================

Basic Requirements:

- Any S60 3.x device or emulator environment

===============================================================================

Compatibility Issues:

=====================

N/A

===============================================================================

Known Issues:

=============

- Kernel analysis are not supported.

- Switch allocator. AnalyzeTool change the application memory allocator to

  AnalyzeTool own memory allocator and using the User::SwitchAllocator function

  can lead to situation where the tested application does not work properly.

- AnalyzeTool hooked QT applications becomes too slow to run. Use small size

  call stack(s) and new logging mode (external -tr). 

- Stif test case with AnalyzeTool can inform wrong memory leak alert.

- AnalyzeTool overwrites functions TInt User::ProcessCritical(TCritical

  aCritical) and TInt User::SetProcessCritical(TCritical aCritical), but this

  works only when the function is called from hooked exe application. So if

  setting critical is done from DLL (even if it's hooked with AnalyzeTool) the

  overwriting does not work and the process stays set critical during the

  testing.

- If hooked application is closed by calling User::Exit() from DLL instead of

  .exe application AnalyzeTool reports "abnormal process end" and can't report

  proper memory leaks.

===============================================================================

Version History:

================

Version 1.9.1 - 29th April 2010

==============================

- Change: Removed Avkon and Console UI's to simplify the maintenance of the

  tool

- Change: Middleware layer dependencies removed so AnalyzeTool can be now used

  also in OS layer builds

- Fix: Move all binaries to ROM instead of ROFS to avoid ROM build

  dependencies issues in hooked components

===============================================================================

Version 1.9.0 - 8th April 2010

==============================

- Feature: Remove false positive memory leaks with better handling of global

  variables

- Feature: Automatic check of correct version of dbghelp.dll for better
