Affinity Analyzer Functions

The tool checks software code to improve code quality and memory access performance.

When multiple modules are running concurrently, only one log level can be set at the same time.
If you move the tool to another location after you have already used the tool, a log configuration file read error occurs. You need to reinstall the tool or move the tool to its original installation location.

Prerequisites

You have installed the Affinity Analyzer tool. For details, see Installing the Tool.
If you have installed the tool using a compressed package, decompress the package and switch to the tool directory. Then run the command in ./ mode, for example, ./devkit advisor -v. If you have installed the tool using an RPM package, run devkit advisor -v. This section uses an RPM package as an example.
