UNIX AIX

Hi ,

I Want to apply AIX lint to my source code which all are *.cpp/*.h

>lint test.cpp
lint: 1286-332 File test.cpp must have a .c, .C or .ln extension. It is ignored.
lint: 1286-334 There are no files to process.

I am getting above error.

As far as i know lint is only understanding C-source but not C++-source. Either you wrote a pure C-program using the extension ".cpp", which is perfectly legal as a C++-compiler understands the whole C syntax - in this case rename the source to ".c" - or your source is C++ in nature. In this case lint wont be able to help you i fear.

I hope this helps.

Directly rename will give error by C compiler.

I suppose there must be some way.

Or any similar command like 'lint'

My quick research found "FlexeLint for C/C++" from Gimpel Software. Alas it is no free software, but it looks like it might fit your purpose. I have not experience using this tool, though, maybe someone else can filll in here?

I hope this helps.
