Would it be possible/feasible to set up a script that would run Lint, SLINT, etc. (Perhaps a pretty printer as well, that checks for inconsistent white space (which generally implies the programmer meant one thing and typed another...) ) and then files related bug reports? After a successful compile, it could also run the program and use a memory shaker, and/or software that gives the program random input, and again files a bug report for any crashes. This would likely catch a significant number of the common errors and mistakes that tend to slip through, and would save the wasted human hours and headaches that would be needed to catch these mistakes otherwise. What do you all think? Tom M. TomM@Pentstar.com (PS Please CC me in all replies since I am not subscribed to this list)
