A friend of mine is writing a Lint program for Ada for a project. It is
going to be very much like the Lint program for C.  It catches errors for
ADA which the compiler does not.  Now, are there any other Lint-ike checkers
for any other languages curently in use or under development? If there is
any other such language checkers, I will appreciate letting me know the
references. My friend does not have access to this newsgroup and hence I am
posting this message for him.  Please send me your replies. I will forward
them to my friend.

Thanks very much!
