Can anyone direct me to a good lint program for the IBM PC? My chief
concern is cost, although I'd like it to be a good implementation, not
a toy.

I use an earlier version, and it seems a rather complete LINT. I think it's about $100 new ($35 for the upgrade from a previous version). Their company info is: Gimpel Software 3207 Hogarth Lane Collegeville, PA 19426 215-584-4261 I have no connection with the company (though I used to work and play with Jim Gimpel a decade ago). +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Tutelman | | Physical - AT&T - Lincroft, NJ | | Logical - ...ihnp4!mtuxo!mtunb!dmt | | Audible - (201) 576 2442 | +---------------------------------------------------------------+

This has helped me port stuff from VAX->Xenix, VAX->68000, 68000->VAX. It catches the pointer<->int, inconsistant arguments, etc. Since you want low $, I suggest QuickC for $99. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {chinet | philabs | seismo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

My chief > concern is cost, although I'd like it to be a good implementation, not > a toy. > Gimpel Software's PC-Lint is really very good. It supports the latest versions of most compilers (including Microsoft C 5.0 which isn't really out yet), and does a really good job. The latest version is 3.00 I think. It is available from: Gimpel Software 3207 Hogarth Lane Collegeville, Pa. 19426 (215) 584-4261 I don't remember the exact price, but it was reasonably cheap, <$150.00 I think. And stay away from Pre-C, yet another in a series of massively overpriced "so what?" software from Phoenix. -- Glenn Connery, Bell Northern Research, Mountain View, CA {hplabs,amdahl,3comvax}!bnrmtv!connery

Turbo gives you a lot of control over all sorts of warnings of possible problems; in the integrated environment, you can turn each of these warnings on or off from a pull-down menu. That, combined with function prototyping, will give near-LINT protection. Once again, if you really want LINT, PC-LINT from Gimpel Software is very complete. +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Dave Tutelman | | Physical - AT&T - Lincroft, NJ | | Logical - ...ihnp4!mtuxo!mtunb!dmt | | Audible - (201) 576 2442 | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
