[comp.lang.c] GNU Lint???

c60c-4au@web-4d.berkeley.edu (Erik Talvola) (09/27/88)

Does anyone know of a lint program for Unix that recognizes ANSI C?
I have switched over to using gcc (GNU C) for my programming, and since
it is an ANSI-C compiler, I have been using things like function
prototyping, which the regular lint bombs on.  So, does GNU have a version
of lint that works with gcc, or is there otherwise an ANSI-C Lint available?
Many thanks in advance...

You might want to use the -Wall option of GNU C. It will sort of 'lint' your
C source file.
Refer to the GNU C user manual.
