[comp.sys.apollo] lint crunched in 10.3

jwl@unix.cis.pitt.edu (John N Lutz) (03/18/91)

Well apparently lint went away with 10.3.  It dies after numerous
sputterings about undefined structures and unions in **STDIO.H** of
all places. Makes it kind of hard to run it through most C programs.
I called the Response Center and they verified that it worked under
10.2 and is broken under 10.3 and set up a APR.  (#7cf2408d0, if you
are dying to know.)  Who knows when it will be fixed.  Now, I know
that lint is of dubious value, but it does do some good for some of my
pitiful hacks.  My question is, does anybody have a usable lint under
10.3? Does the FSF have a version that is HPollo campatable?  Any
others?

Simple enquiring minds want to know! Thanks.--

I wonder if your problem is not as much lint as the new
ANSI-compatible header files.  Using 10.3 lint, I successfully
lint'ed stdio.h on a 10.2 node, but had the problems you 
described on a 10.3 node.  (Clarification - I ran everything 
ON a 10.3 node;  using first a 10.2 stdio.h, then a 10.3
stdio.h). 

You might try using the old header file.
