lint

[Sathyaish]

I just re-read about lint as a passing reference in a general
programming article. I am curious. Where can I download lint from? Is
it downloadable for free? I googled but got some link to SLint or
Splint but no lint.

Splint is a good version of lint, but it's overly anal. If you want it
for free then Splint is probably your best bet.

Thank you.

Lint you can buy, look for PCLINT. It will cost about $200 or so
for Windoze machinery. For Unixen it is more like $1000 in
shrouded source form. Splint should show up fairly easily on a
search, and is available free. Splint doesn't handle C++. PCLint
does.

The C FAQ addresses this issue to some degree:

However, some of the particulars are out of date.
