PC-Lint

PC-Lint

PC-lint is a commercial static code analysis software tool produced by Gimpel Software for the C/C++ languages.

PC-lint is a command-line tool for developers, indicating suspicious or plain wrong issues in source code. PC-lint (or its multi-platform version, FlexeLint) can be integrated into IDEs as an external tool, and the format of the warning messages can be adapted to the form the IDE is able to recognize and process.

PC-lint can be used for quality assurance of C source code and checking the code for conformance to coding guidelines such as MISRA C or MISRA C++. It also includes checks for problems unique to parallel programs (built on POSIX threads) as written about by Andrey Karpov on the Dr Dobbs Journal site, June 2009.

Post Processing

The ALOA engine was originally released for free by Approxion and now resides at Sourceforge, providing regression reporting comparing multiple runs of lint.

Jon Zyzyck wrote about his report generator for PC-Lint in the February 2003 edition of Dr Dobbs Journal.

Visual Lint provides IDE integration as well as help to understand PC-Lint messages and customizable reports of the lint warnings.
