lclint <tool, programming> A lint-like {ANSI C} source checker from {MIT}. If formal specifications are supplied (in a separate file), lclint can do more powerful checking to detect inconsistencies between specifications and code. Adding specifications enables further checking, types can be defined as {abstract} and lclint can detect inconsistent use of {global variables}; undocumented modification of client-visible state; inconsistent use of an uninitialised {formal parameter}; or failure to initialise an actual parameter.
