[gnu.gcc] ANSI C lint type tool wanted

markh@tekcrl.LABS.TEK.COM (Mark C Henderson) (07/31/90)

We are looking for an ANSI C lint.

gcc -Wall won't do what we want. In particular it doesn't cover what
is covered by pass 2 in SUN OS lint, i.e. checking the consistency of
declarations across files. 

Is their a way to coax gcc into doing this?

Are there any freely available or commercial lint programmes that will
work with gcc?

In particular I'm aware of Saber C, which certainly has an ANSI mode.
But that is expensive and is overkill.

Please respond by Email as I don't read these groups all that
regularly. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
