Is there a LINT for the Atari ST?
If there isn't, is there a good book on writing something like LINT?
Has a LINT been written in YACC/Bison, and is it available anywhere?
Potential lint picker

Covert As for Lint, I've been directed to the gcc compiler. I should have though about this before, as I regularly use gcc at school. Now I wish I had 4 megs and a large hard drive :-] I still haven't found a stand alone lint though. There are indeed (f)lex, and yacc for the ST. Flex is called flex, and yacc is Bison (the gnu edition of yacc). Both should be available from the terminator.cc.umich.edu archives. I think there is a nawk for the ST as well, but I'm not sure. P.S. Bison will not parse (MS-DOS) files with CRLF. The CR must be stripped off. Probably a problem with the libraries used.

Covert Well, to start with, they already define __STDC__ (vomit), so they must have plans in that direction. BTW, I like MWC as well, there just SOME things you shouldn't do to C-programmers, they already have to deal with far too many languages called C. Siebren van der Zee, siebren@cwi.nl

GCC (from the GNU project, formally called the Free Software Foundation) is an ANSI compiler, and it works on the ST. I flamed its version 1.21, but I'm told that 1.35 is really much better. It is free, with certain copying restrictions; mainly, they say you can't impose any restrictions. The GNU people are producing a UNIX workalike, complete with OS and the major (and some minor) tools. Their yacc workalike is called "bison" and they must have lex and probably awk, too. An ANSI compiler with a decent catalogue of warnings amounts to the same thing as lint, so that takes care of that. You can get GCC from some of the ST and/or UNIX archives. Somebody else will have to get you the address of the FSF, I don't know what it is. ============================================ Opinions expressed above do not necessarily -- Allan Pratt, Atari Corp. reflect those of Atari Corp. or anyone else. ...ames!atari!apratt

DO NOT POST COPYRIGHTED LEX, YACC OR LINT SOURCES! *** However, the Free Software Foundation's "Bison" is a yacc replacement, and has been ported to the ST. A version was posted here some months ago, and can be obtained from various archive sites. Flex is a "fast lex" and is also publicly redistributable. It was written by Vern Paxson (of Lawrence Berkeley Labs?), and is being included with GNU stuff, although it wasn't written by the FSF. It, too, has been ported to the ST and is available in various archives. I have not seen a "lint" program for the ST, and I suspect that until the GNU project gets around to writing one there won't be one. Longish .signature follows. Skip now, or don't complain.

Last week I finished the ST port of flex (a lex replacement, appeared in comp.sources.{unix|misc} ) and almost that of gawk (GNU awk) (sources from comp.binaries.ibm.pc). As far as I can tell, flex works o.k. (porting was straightforward, using Sozobon), but gawk still bombs sometimes (lots of sizeof(int)=sizeof(char *) stuff, I replaced the regexp routines with those from Henry(?) Spencer, at least these are working correctly). If there is enough interest, I will ask our postmaster(s) if I can send the binaries & sources to the moderator.
