PC-Lint for C/C++

PC-lint will check your C/C++ source code and find bugs, glitches, inconsistencies, non-portable constructs, redundant code, and much more. It looks across multiple modules, and so, enjoys a perspective your compiler does not have.

Platforms

• Windows 95 / Windows NT
• DOS (built-in DOS extender)
• OS/2 (32 bit)

Compatibility

• Supports K&R C, ANSI C, ANSI/ISO C++
• Explicit support for Borland, Microsoft, GNU and most other major compilers and libraries
• Support for most major embedded-system compilers including bit addressing
• Numerous options to support rogue compilers
• Scalars sizes can be specified for cross-compiling

Message Suppression

• By number
• By number and symbol (including wild cards)
• One-line suppression
• By macro
• For library headers, by number (a header is library depending on how it is included; this can be overridden via user options)
• For specified functions, by number
• For expressions

Flexibility

• Indirect files (nested to any depth) can contain filenames, options, environment variables
• Format of error messages can be customized to support a wide variety of editors/IDE�s
• All options can be embedded in user code

Special Checking Facilities

• Optional strong type checking (typedef-based) with a rich option set to detect nominal type differences -- You can even form a fully checked type hierarchy of scalar types using only typedef
• Checks flow of control for possibly uninitializedvariables
• Value tracking to detect subtle initialization and value misuse problems
• With value tracking as an enabling technology, we support �semantics� checking for almost 100 library functions, this checking can be extended to user functions
• User-defined semantic checking for function arguments and return values
• Find unused macros, typedef's, classes, members, declarations, etc. across the entire project
• Other special torture tests

Performance

• Fast one-pass operation
• Robust -- tables will expand as needed to handle large applications

• Windows 7 / Vista / XP / NT / 2000 / ME / 98/ 95
• MS-DOS (built-in DOS extender)
• OS/2

NOTE:  When ordering online and downloading PC-lint, you will receive support only for Windows. For MS-DOS or OS/2 support, order PC-lint on CD.
