[Lint] was a program which literally exmined K&R [C] SourceCode for "lint" -- bits of fluff in the code. [Lint] was necessary because prior to [ANSI] [C], the language was much looser about what it accepted, arguments and variables could have implicit types and there were a range of other conveniences. [Lint] performed SourceCode checking in an era when [Compiler]s didn't. With modern [Compiler]s, [Lint]'s function is performed by simply compiling with all the warning flags turned on (i.e. [-Wall]). The name [Lint] lives on in xmllint(1) and other checkers and validators. ---- CategorySoftwareEngineeringTools
