[comp.lang.c] LINT info wanted

SWANGER%AUDUCVAX.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU (04/09/88)

I am developing a package for the MS-DOS environment using MSC 5.0.  Lately I
have had several bugs in code that *should* work correctly (Ha!).  I have not
always been able to track down the causes of these bugs.  CODEVIEW and the /W3
qualifier on the CL command are very helpful in many cases, but there are still
a few maddening bugs that I can't locate.  Several people have told me that I
need a version of LINT.  Can anyone tell me what sort of error-checking LINT
will do that the MSC compiler cannot?  Does anyone know of a public domain
version of LINT for the MS-DOS environment?  If not, does anyone have any
experience with the various commercial LINTs for the PC?

If anyone has a Public Domain version of LINT for the PC, please send it to me
over BITNET if possible, or at least send me details on how I can receive it.

Thanks for the help!
