[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Looking for lint/lint-like programs/references

jrv@grad1.cis.upenn.edu (JR VanMechelen) (09/30/90)

I am trying to write a lint-like program to check syntax and semantics
of Clipper programs, a DBASE clone.  I am looking for programs that
perform similar functions on other languages so I will have some kind
of model.  Ideally I would like the source, but a man page that
describes in some detail the kinds of checks that are performed would
be useful.  Is there a public domain copy of lint anywhere?  Or of
similar programs?  I am currently aware of a few such programs on
terminator.umich.edu.

Also, if anyone knows of books/articles/other newsgroups/whatever that
would be useful in such an endeavour, I would appreciate hearing.

Thanks!

BTW, thanks to all the folks who have helped me when I have posted to
this group in the past.  I am trying to return the favor by responding
to posters when I can.
