Visual Lint Standard Edition 2.0.1

Visual Lint Standard Edition 2.0.1 is a powerful and easy to use tool which is designed to give you an advanced way to closely integrate the Gimpel PC-Lint code analysis tool within the Visual Studio integrated development environment.

Although PC-Lint does a great job of analyzing C++ source and header files for potential problems, it is a generic cross-platform tool and as such is not closely integrated with development environments. This is less than ideal if you want to perform a complete analysis of an entire workspace or solution, and furthermore, it can be difficult to spot the most serious potential problems amongst the mass of results.

Visual Lint overcomes this by closely integrating the Lint analysis process with Visual Studio and making analysis results available to the developer using dedicated displays, making it easier for them to act on the warnings identified. Automated background analysis ensures that up to date analysis results are available when needed.

Visual Lint Standard Edition is recommended for small teams and individual developers with relatively small codebases. In addition to the manual analysis conventionally offered by PC-Lint integration solutions, Visual Lint Standard Edition also offers the capability for automated background lint analysis of entire Visual Studio solutions and workspaces.
