Inhabitants of ILUG.. lower your shields and surrender your vessels...
...Greetings !
What do people out there in ILUG land use, or recommend to use, as a
lint type scource code checker ?
splint, (*)lint ? Is there a semi-universally accepted obvious choice (tm) ?
Ideally, I'd like a tool which could intercept the following.
char x[2];
memset(x, 0x0,20); ?
Be that a runtime piece of magic software... else... a source code
parser, with some damn good (tm) context awareness.
Disclaimer : I've never used lint... but, people keep raving about it to
me. For the case above valgrind emphatically won't catch that error, or
if it will, I don't know the correct runtime incantation to make it do so.
