### Question 18.7

Where can I get an ANSI-compatible `lint`?

Products called PC-Lint and FlexeLint (in ``shrouded source form,'' for compilation on 'most any system) are available from

>     Gimpel Software
>     3207 Hogarth Lane

The Unix System V release 4 `lint` is ANSI-compatible, and is available separately (bundled with other C tools) from UNIX Support Labs or from System V resellers.

Another ANSI-compatible `lint` (which can also perform higher-level formal verification) is LCLint, available via anonymous ftp from larch.lcs.mit.edu in pub/Larch/lclint/.

In the absence of `lint`, many modern compilers do attempt to diagnose almost as many problems as `lint` does.
