    \title Analyzing Code

    You can use the code analysis tools in the \gui Analyze mode. To switch to
    \gui Analyze mode, select \gui Analyze in the mode selector, or select the
    \gui {Analyze} menu and then select a tool. When you are in the
    \gui Analyze mode, you can switch between tools by selecting them in the
    menu on the toolbar.

    By default, the views in the \gui Analyze mode are locked into place in the
    workspace. Select \gui {Window > Views > Locked} to unlock the views. Drag
    and drop the views into new positions on the screen. Drag view borders to
    resize the views. The size and position of views are saved for future
    sessions. Select \gui {Window > Views > Reset to Default Layout} to reset
    the views to their original sizes and positions.

    You can use the following code analysis tools in the \gui Analyze mode:

    \list

        \o  \l{Profiling QML Applications}{QML Profiler}

            You can inspect binding evaluations, signal handling, and
            painting operations when running QML code. This is useful for
            identifying potential bottlenecks, especially in the evaluation
            of bindings.

        \o  \l{Using Valgrind Code Analysis Tools}{Valgrind Code Analysis Tools}

            You can detect problems in memory management by using the Memcheck
            tool and find cache misses in the code by using the Callgrind tool.
