DevPartner64

Combined debugging and error detection for the Intel® Itanium processor(s)

Now that the Intel Itanium processors are here, you need to plan to take full advantage it. But without the right development tools to debug programs targeted for it, you miss out. That's why you need Compuware DevPartner64. We took two of the industry's best-known high performance debugging tools?Visual SoftICE and BoundsChecker?and re-engineered them specifically for the Intel IA64 processor family. Then we packaged them together to give you the only toolkit available today that combines advanced system-wide debugging and automated error detection.

Get a jump on high-quality 64-bit development

Converting 32-bit applications and components to the new 64-bit technology, or building new ones from scratch? Either way, chances are you'll come face to face with technology you've never encountered before. DevPartner64 shortens the learning curve because it handles the differences for you.

What's new in DevPartner64

Visual SoftICE
Deadlock detection
Memory and resource viewer
COM call reporting

For easy system-wide debugging, Visual SoftICE includes:

Application-to-kernel debugging뾗race drivers and applications seamlessly as they execute across both application- and kernel-level boundaries.
Remote debugging뾈ix problem code regardless of where it pops up-on a headless system, a customer site, an off-site testing lab or a machine across the room-without ever leaving the office.
Customizable graphical user interface뾈ind errors sooner with a fully customizable GUI that enables you to easily set breakpoints, analyze results and more.

For automatic error detection, BoundsChecker64 includes:

Memory and leak detection-Monitor heap, static and stack memory as you develop, sidestepping memory errors right from the start.
Deadlock detection-Detects actual and potential deadlocks between threads and synchronization objects.
Active API validation-Check thousands of APIs and OLE methods automatically while you work, and forget matching up program requirements by hand.
COM use count graph-Quickly locate and fix COM interface leaks by showing every AddRef and Release pair within the application. The graphs can quickly be used to spot missing AddRef or Release calls.
Memory and resource viewer-Lets you inspect all current memory and resource allocations in your applications at a moment in time or time interval you define.
COM call reporting-Logs COM objects in specific modules you choose, and monitors method calls from interfaces you select.
Prioritized error summary-Produce a prioritized error summary that allows you to find the most severe error fast.
