- Well, it appears that a true lint doesn't exist. Here's the notes that've
- come in today. It's unanimous for "cc -Wall file.c", for better or worse.
-
- Maybe release 3.0...
-
- Thanks for the responses,

- cc with the -Wall option is a fairly effective lint replacement.
-
- Apologies if you've heard this already and are looking for the real
- thing.

- Compile your programs with the -Wall option. GNU C does it's own checking.

- Ah! The monthly "Where's lint?" question.
-
- I don't want to get into the argument---I am not expert in these matters.
- However, the usual answer is (a) use the -Wall option on the gnu C
- compiler, it does most of what lint does, and (b) if you are porting software
- to another platform (which is what lint helps with above and beyone -Wall)
- then use the lint on the other platform.

- Try first -Wall flat to your compiler and study docs for other
- -W... flags which are not covered by -Wall. This has both
- advantages and disadvantages over lint, but this is all what
- you are going to get, I am afraid. At least as far as I know.
