Ok, I've found several subsets of lint-like utilities, and I'm still looking for a real lint. I personally have lots of proprietary sources, and also tend to run cscope on my machine as well, and it's easy to forget that not everyone has nifty tools just lying around (for instance, I run the real vi (no, not the AT&T one that has that damn 1 second timeout on escapes because it's too stupid to run cbreak). There is a real lint on the Tahoe relerease of Net/2; can anyone tell me what the encumberances on that were, and why it wasn't made publicly available on the Net/2 PD tape? Lint is a good thing (tm), and it would be another worthwhile GNUism if someone wanted to hack the gcc sources (plus "glint" sounds cool).
