I am working on running PureCoverage on our executables. I faced 2 problems initially but one was resolved after linking the object files with relocation information using the link.exe option /fixed:no . Now, I am getting the error mentioned below. Error occurs in one of our dll’s which is not being used directly by the executable.
Language used : C
Windows x64
Windows 2008 Server x64 SDK Compiler
There is a solution given at the following site
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PK32184
Problem summary
code being instrumented was using short (1 byte) branch
instructions, which were inadequate in instrumented code.
Problem conclusion
Replaced short branch instructions with long ones
->No idea what this means or how to solve change this. I also tried to compile with /OPT:NOREF and /OPT:NOICF. But it didnt help. ------------------- Error Dump ----------------
