[comp.lang.c] C Coding Standards, is there software out there...

markh@squirrel.LABS.TEK.COM (Mark Henderson) (08/17/90)

I'm looking for software which checks compliance with coding standards.
What we want is something that can be configured to check against
our (evolving) coding standard. The coding standards specifies the
usual things, such as code format, variable/constant/macro and function
naming, comment format...etc.

I am aware of a package from Abraxas called CodeCheck which looks like
it might do the trick, but would greatly appreciate any information
on public-domain, freeware, or commercial packages. We are, in particularly,
interested in something that will run on SUN platforms running SUN OS, but
will consider packages which run on other types of hardware. The code that
needs to be processed will be ifdef'd...etc. to run on several platforms.

Thanks in advance for any help. Please Email replies as I don't normally
read this newsgroup. 

If there is any demand, I will post a summary of responses received.
