Intel® Inspector Help
By default, the
Intel Inspector
propagates state information from a baseline result (the immediately previous
result of the same analysis type) when you open a result for the first time.
In addition, you can use the
Merge States... option on the
Problems pane context menu to merge state
information from any result in any project into the currently open result.
The
state merge operation updates in the currently open result the state assigned
to any issues that appear in both results. The state of issues that appear only
in the currently open result remain unchanged. Issues that appear only in the
selected result are not added to the open result.
Combining the efforts of
multiple team members working the same result is an excellent way to take
advantage of the state merge feature.
That is, team members agree upon which result issues each will investigate, make a private copy of the result, investigate their assigned issues and set issue state accordingly, and then merge their state changes back into a master copy. In this way, all team members can work independently but still combine their efforts into a single result.
For example: The state of an issue in the master result is
New. Your teammate investigated the issue in a
private copy of the result and set the issue state to
Not a Problem. When you merge state information
from your teammate's result (selected result) into your master result (open
result), the
Intel Inspector
sets the issue state to
Not a Problem.
State information changes to the currently open result are not reversible. You cannot roll back a merge operation.
There is no link between the two results after a state merge operation is complete.
You can still manually change the state of any issue in a merged result.
A merged result can serve as the baseline result, in which case the Intel Inspector propagates state (and note) information to the new result.
