lint program for windows

[AmberJain]

Someone please tell me the download site for a free C lint program for windows. I'm using Borland Turbo C++ 3.0 compiler and my OS is Windows XP.

THANKS TO EVERYONE IN ADVANCE

Do you actually mean CINT?

[oler1s]

OP, is it that hard to Google?

On another note, you're first step should probably be to get a modern compiler. Turbo C++ 3.0 is not modern,

Do you actually mean CINT?

NO, it's not CINT.

It is LINT........... ..

Yes, I searched google and downloaded SPLINT.

Which C/C++ compiler would you prefer for me to use (specifically ANSI C89 based C compiler) ?

Have a look at this list.

Anything recent is fine. The idea is you don't rely on old DOS compilers.

Since you are on Windows XP, you really may want to try out Visual C++ Express 2008. It's free, and it's the Microsoft compiler, so you're in pretty good shape if you ever want to do Windows programming. gcc is also popular. The windows version comes under the name MinGW. It's more difficult to setup, especially if you aren't an experienced C programmer, so I don't recommend it anymore. Borland has been updating their compilers as well. They should have released a free version of their Turbo C++ compiler some years ago.

In any case, you have a number of free alternatives that are up to date and are actual Windows 32-bit compilers.

Another option is to follow the links on the link you posted.

THANKS to everyone for their replies.....

Hello "oler1s",
Well I have some queries........ .

1. Are MinGW or Visual C++ Express 2008 "ANSI C89" compliant?
2. I'm not interested in windows programming under C. So, is classic (probably this is the right word for it) C programming possible under Visual C++ Express 2008 or MinGW?

You can do bare-bones C programming in both gcc and msvc. You can supply gcc the command argument -ANSI (or something similar) to make sure it's compliant. I usually don't bother cuz that means you can't use // to comment (very annoying)

What does MSVC stands for?

I expect it to be MICROSOFT VISUAL C. Am I right or is it something else?

Are MinGW or Visual C++ Express 2008 "ANSI C89" compliant?

Yes. Each compiler has compiler flags that can enforce strictness to the standard, and turn off extensions.

[quoteI'm not interested in windows programming under C.

So I presume you mean console programs, all using only ANSI compliant code. Yes, it's possible.

What does MSVC stands for?

Microsoft Visual C++.
