Summary0013844: PurifyPlus 7.0.1-003 cannot properly interpret SAVETEXTDATA command line switch due to quotation marks
DescriptionPROBLEM:
----------------------------

This started with PurifyPlus 7.0.1-003 - PurifyPlus 7.0.0 did not show such behaviour. The solution should however work for both

CTest 2.8.3 memchecker produces on Windows the following command line to execute Purify (extracted from my logs):

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe "/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" "D:/MyBinDir/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

When executing this Purify 7.0.1-003 complains the following way:

Unable to find file /SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log.


The reason is the command line /SAVETEXTDATA=... is wrapped in quotation marks

"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"

the problem does not occur when changing the command line by shift the quotation mark after the equal sign:

/SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"

SOLUTION:
----------------------------
use

/SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"

instead of

"/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"

i.e.

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe /SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" "D:/MyBinFolder/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"
Steps To ReproduceExecute PurifyPlus 7.0.1-003

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe "/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" "D:/MyBinFolder/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

and try again with

C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe /SAVETEXTDATA="D:/MyBinFolder/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" "D:/MyBinFolder/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"
Additional InformationFrom the CTest logs:


Memory check command: C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe "/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log"

149: MemCheck command: C:\Progra~1\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe "/SAVETEXTDATA=D:/MyBinDir/Testing/Temporary/MemoryChecker.log" "D:/MyBinDir/bin/Debug/MyTest.exe"

I was able to workaround the problem with the following batch file (also attached) - pointing CTEST_MEMORYCHECK_COMMAND to this instead made it work in the end



@echo off
@setlocal

rem strip quotes from /SAVETEXTDATA argment
REM set str="%1=%2"
REM for /f "useback tokens=*" %%a in ('%str%') do set str=%%~a

set PURIFY_PATH="C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalPurifyPlus\purify.exe"
echo calling %PURIFY_PATH% %*
%PURIFY_PATH% %*

@endlocal
