Does anyone have any experience with a good or cheap Lint tool to help run a static check on standard C code in Keil? I found one called Cpp check but it doesn't look like it's compatible with Keil (and I haven't had a chance to check it using any other IDE).
cppcheck.sourceforge.net/
I figured I'd go ahead and ask here in case anyone has one they use or recommend (or even if one exists that is compatible with Keil). Thanks!
"... the main "needle eye" is if they can support the source code extensions."
I have not encountered a source code extension that PC-Lint can not be configured for.
I rarely use IDEs. I purchased PC-Lint as a standalone tool independent of toolchain/IDE. It supports the source code extensions I configure it for. I have no clue (and don't care) how my language extension definitions compare to vendor-sanctioned definitions (e.g., Keil's definitions). I craft them as needed to work with all sorts of architecture/vendor 'isms.
I have not found a free tool to be configurable enough to handle the idiosyncrasies of our development domain.
Yes, yes, yes. We have already concluded that PC-Lint can do the task. That isn't contended, and have never been.
Dan, I think his point had more to do with the issue with most Lint tools (such as the free one I had found) have trouble with Keil specific code). He wasn't talking specifically about PC-Lint's ability to do the task (it sounds like everyone agrees it can, including Keil's website).
Anyway, PC-Lint sounds like it will do the job so I will probably look into getting that.
Thanks for your help, everybody!
