It's a commercial package, which is why I've haven't mentioned it by name on the list. There is a similar tool, LCLint, which is distributed under the GPL. When I tried LCLint some years ago, I found it somewhat difficult to get useful results. This was especially true at the beggining of a code cleanup project I was involved in when things were quite messy.

It may be that I'll have to take things a little further along with my package before we can use it effectively. Andrew> I should also be encouraging people to use Free tools :-) If possible. But if there are commercial packages that are available without Free alternatives, I have no problems using them to develop free software. --jtc -- J.T. Conklin RedBack Networks
