Binary/Symbol Search and Source Search Locations

When using the Intel Inspector:

  • Specify the locations of binary and symbol locations to be searched by using the Project Properties dialog box, Binary/Symbol Search tab. These locations will be searched in addition to the default binary and symbol locations.

  • Specify the source locations to be searched by using the Project Properties dialog box, Source Search tab. These locations will be searched in addition to the default source search locations.

Binary/Symbol Search Locations

Certain default binary and symbol locations are used in addition to the locations specified in the Binary/Symbol Search tab.

The following list describes the order and default locations that are searched. As indicated below, some directory searches examine the specified directory and its subdirectories, while other searches do not examine its subdirectories.

    • Check in the directory of the corresponding binary file, using the corresponding name.
