LCLint LCLint is a tool for statically checking C programs. With minimal effort, LCLint can be used as a better lint. If additional effort is invested adding annotations to programs, LCLint can perform stronger checks than can be done by any standard lint. LCLint does many of the traditional lint checks including unused declarations, type inconsistencies, use-before-definition, ignored return values, execution paths with no return, likely infinite loops, and fall-through cases. Our main focus, however, is on more powerful checks that are made possible by additional information given in source code annotations. Annotations are stylized comments that document certain assumptions about functions, variables, parameters, and types.
