My company will soon (!) be getting an RS/6000 for development purposes. However, before it arrives, we'd like to know something about the version of "lint" distributed with AIX 3.0. Specifically: Does AIX 3.0 lint know about function prototypes, and other ANSI inventions? If not, we're probably going to *plonk* down our money on Gimpel's FlexeLint. adTHANKSvance for all info. -- Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT <chip@tct.uucp>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip>

According the InfoExplorer, lint on AIXv3.1 knows about function prototypes and there are flags to allow you to either ignore or catch all occurances of such things. The flag you need is -MA (Enforces ANSI C Language standard). Without it, lint defaults into the extended C mode (which you can find out more about in the C Language Reference Manual). >adTHANKSvance for all info. >-- >Chip Salzenberg at ComDev/TCT <chip@tct.uucp>, <uunet!ateng!tct!chip> jim/jsalter IBM AWD, Palo Alto T465/(415)855-4427 VNET: JSALTER at AUSVMQ Internet: ibmsupt!jsalter@uunet.uu.net UUCP: ..!uunet!ibmsupt!jsalter "Life can be modelled as a hidden Markov process with infinite states and no a-priori knowledge of the probability density functions." - dakramer jim/jsalter IBM AWD, Palo Alto T465/(415)855-4427 VNET: JSALTER at AUSVMQ Internet: ibmsupt!jsalter@uunet.uu.net UUCP: ..!uunet!ibmsupt!jsalter "Life can be modelled as a hidden Markov process with infinite states and no a-priori knowledge of the probability density functions." - dakramer

Yes, it does know about function prototypes. In addition, the supplied C compiler is rather strict with typing, etc, so the need for lint is somewhat less than on systems with pcc ports.
