   There are very few lints (maybe only two: the original, and
   Gimpel), and they haven't kept up with such language features as
   function prototypes.

Gimpel Software's FlexeLint is fully ANSI-compatable.  It can also handle
most pre-ANSI constructs and semantics.  It is an excellent product,
primarily because each message can be individually turned on or off, within
parts of a source file or for particular symbols or files.  (Disclaimer: I'm
just a satisfied customer; I have no financial interest in G. S.)

It can be run on SUNs, VAXen, PCs, et cetera.
