Another (non-LINT) possibility in the vein of this posting is TURBO C
with all the messages turned on.  Turbo gives you a lot of control
over all sorts of warnings of possible problems; in the integrated
environment, you can turn each of these warnings on or off from a
pull-down menu.

That, combined with function prototyping, will give near-LINT 
protection.

Once again, if you really want LINT, PC-LINT from Gimpel Software
is very complete.
