Hi Stephane,

Lint is a program that checks C source way above and beyond what a compiler does...it checks for those kinds of errors that are a real bear to find while debugging.

Check out http://www.gimpel.com for their commercial version of lint. They also have a great series of ads, repeated in their site called Bugs of the Month, examples of programs that don't produce the expected result because of logic, syntax, or other coding problems.

There are other versions of lint out there, see also http://splint.org.
