I'm working on a project where I'm coding in C in a UNIX environment. I've been using the lint tool to check my source code. Lint has been around a long time (since 1979), can anyone suggest a more recent code analysis tool I could use ? Preferably a tool that is free.
See also What is the best command-line tool to clean-up code and Recommended GCC warning options for C. If you have prototypes properly centralized in headers and used everywhere, then the cross-file checking that lint does is also done by the compiler (albeit one file at a time).
