Lint is properly silent on the following short program on our VAX: void exit(); main() {int usv = 0;exit(tough((unsigned short)usv));} tough(usv) unsigned short usv; {return (int)usv;} With the same program on our UNIX PC, lint outputs the bogus diagnostic ============== function argument ( number ) used inconsistently tough( arg 1 ) lintest.c(3) :: lintest.c(2) It shuts up if the middle line is changed to main() {int usv = 0;exit(tough((unsigned short)usv+0));} Has anyone either traced this bug or found a more elegant workaround?
