The issue is that each platform has its own unique issues. Purify
supports 64 bits on Sun and HP. There is a lot of code. There is a lot of
assembler code just in the run time library. Remember that Purify does
object code intertion, which requires Purify to insert instructions into a .o
file or a shared object (such as libc.so). This must be done so as not to
change the behavior of the user's code other than the reporting of the
desired information. There are a lot of non-trivial considerations in doing
this.
