Known Issues

This section describes known issues in this release.

All Platforms

The system may attempt to instrument lambdas inside of templates. This will cause a crash. Such lambda functions should be ignored.

Windows

• Insure++ needs one TLS slot to track threads. This slot must be in the minimum supported range, (usually 1-64). If an application uses too many of the "guaranteed" TLS slots, then Insure++ won't function. We've seen this with Intellicad.
• Running Insure++ from Visual Studio without elevated privileges may see INSURE_ERRORs regarding .gus files. The workaround is to run with elevated privileges once.
• The Suppressions Panel will not work properly unless you run Insure++ with elevated privileges or the Enable user specific options is enabled in the Insure++ Control Panel.
• Session zero isolation prevents user interaction with insra when injecting system services. The workaround is to use a report file.
• On Windows 7, user code may be missing from USER_ERROR message stack traces. These are often due to Microsoft using undocumented aspects of Windows interfaces and may be safely ignored.
• C# executables built with /platform:anycpu (the default) fail to run under the Insure++ Debugger. The workaround is to build with /platform:x86 or /platform:x64.
• AutoCAD plugins are incompatible with Insure++. Consider C++Test with BugDetective.
  

Visual Studio 2010 and Later

The following known issues are specific to Visual Studio 2010 and later:

• Visual Studio does not use the VS Debug API when debugging managed executables. As a result debugging managed executables is not supported. This only applies to debugging--executing such applications is still supported.
• The Insure++ Build function does not rebuild anything when header files are changed. This issue is a Microsoft dependency tracking bug. The workaround is to use Instrument File, Insure++ Rebuild Selection, and/or Insure++ Rebuild Solution when necessary.
• When only the Visual C++ component is installed, the Insure++ toolbar is ineffective. After restarting Visual Studio, the buttons work, but the Tools->Insure++ menu remains unavailable. Visual Studio 2015 may crash during startup if the C++ components are not installed.

Additional Updates

• Support for MSVC++-10.0 (VS 2010) is deprecated and will be dropped in the next release. 
• Machine ID generation has been updated to be consistent with other Parasoft tools.
