RE: [GD-General] C++ analyzers?

[Tom F. <to...@mu...>]

PC-Lint is slightly eccentric (setup, manual, etc), but it's heart is in the
right place, and it does work. As it's motto says "noisy at first, quietens
down after a while". Very very simple to tell it to ignore stuff you don't
care about. Don't worry too much about it filling a few gig of disk space
with warnings the first time you run it :-)
