Well, VAX SCA (Source Code Analyzer) provides a variety of lint-like features,
both interactively (with LSE) and as a command-line package.

The nicest feature of LSE/SCA is that you can get it basically for free if
you've got one the blanket educational software license.  (Don't ask me
about this; I'm not an expert.)  But I doubt this is helpful to anyone whose
address is ".COM."

I've been trying to get it to work with C, though, and I've been having
some problems (I think) using CHECK CALLS with old-style declarations.  Has
anyone out there had substantial experience using SCA with old-style C?
I'd appreciate very much having a brief consult w/ one or more of you
via email.
