< This unused line is brought to you courtesy of your local line eater> Having received my copy of Manx 3.6 compiler, and having browsed superficially through the contents of the disks, I was wondering where one might get a copy of the "lint" program alluded to in the readme.lint file in the lint directory on the SYS2 disk. It doesn't seem to be anywhere on any of the compiler disks, nor is there any information about where to get it, either on the disk or in the release document. Is this referring to a PD lint (I hope!). This information was on the 3.4 release as well, and this was when my curiosity was aroused. But I figured I'd wait until 3.6 came out to see if there was anything else on it. But no such luck. While I'm on the line here, I'll ask one more question. Has anyone had any luck using SDB in debugging device drivers, as described on pages 15-16 and 30 of the preliminary manual? If so, I'd like to hear from you. All I get when I attempt to use the 'ld' command is an error message something like "Can't open foo.device!". My best guess about the problem at this point stems from the fact that my driver is written in assembly language, not C, but I did assemble it with 'as' and link it with the -g switch of 'ln'. I put the driver in the current and devs: directories as well as the libs: directory as indicated by the manual. The .dbg file is in the current directory. Any ideas?

Of course, with my motivation level these days, I'd never finish it :-) ( wanna help Sven? ) Speaking of the PD C compilers, are either of them ( the GNU or the other one ) ANSI compatible ... if they are, lint is a breaze to write with them.

Amiga Lint is a commercial product from Gimpel Software. Check any recent issues of Amazing Computing or Amiga World for their ads.
