Since R2023b

Description

Limit code profiling to the source files in the specified folder. Polyspace® Test™ instruments the source files in only the specified folder for code profiling.

Set Option

Set the option using one of these methods:

  • Command line: Use the option -limit-intrumentation-to. See Command-Line Information.

Why Use This Option

When you use this option, Polyspace Test instruments the source files of only the specified folder, even if your project contains other source files. By using this options, you limit the scope of profiling calculations.

Settings

No Default
