Question 18.7

Where can I get an ANSI-compatible lint?


Products called PC-Lint and FlexeLint (in ``shrouded source form,'' for compilation on 'most any system) are available from

Gimpel Software
3207 Hogarth Lane
Collegeville, PA  19426  USA
(+1) 610 584 4261
gimpel@netaxs.com

The Unix System V release 4 lint is ANSI-compatible, and is available separately (bundled with other C tools) from UNIX Support Labs or from System V resellers.

Another ANSI-compatible lint (which can also perform higher-level formal verification) is LCLint, available via anonymous ftp from larch.lcs.mit.edu in pub/Larch/lclint/.

In the absence of lint, many modern compilers do attempt to diagnose almost as many problems as lint does.
