I fully agree. You can't have Unix without lint. Maybe I could port Digital
Unix lint to Alpha/Linux.
Yes however I`m not interested in Lint per se. Just in the idea that
a small C compiler should not do Lint type things like issue warnings
ect. That very idea of C minus Lint has been eluded to on this list
before and I am just echoing it. Gcc is very nice for Workstation
environments/cross compilation, but in the interest of
size/preformance it might be nice to have a bare bones K&R/Ansi C
compiler. Minus prototype checking! Prototypes are best left to
Linting.
