I am writing (hopefully) ANSI compliant C using GNU C on a Sparc. Will lint
do anything for me that "gcc -ansi -pedantic -Wall" will not? If it will, how
do I use it? The standard system lint complains mightily, even when I use
the ansi library (-lansic).
The code in question is an X11R4 application. Will I need to tell lint anything
about the X libraries?
I will appreciate any opinions and/or facts you have to offer.

I will insert my usual plug for Gimpel Software's FlexeLint. It can
support ANSI C and many old C dialects, and you can turn on or off any
of the 300-odd messages on a message-by-message basis, or only for
certain identifiers, and can turn them on or off via in-line comments.
It does a lot more checking than GCC can, such as inter-file
consistency checks. It does a lot more checking than GCC does.
Call +1 215 584 4261 (in Collegeville, Pennsylvania). I have no
financial or other stake in their success, except for being a
satisfied customer hoping for more releases. 8-)
