lint
|
|
|
|
1. vt. To examine a program closely for style, language usage, and
|
|
portability problems, esp. if in C, esp. if via use of automated analysis
|
|
tools, most esp. if the Unix utility lint (1) is used. This term used to be
|
|
restricted to use of lint (1) itself, but (judging by references on Usenet)
|
|
it has become a shorthand for any exhaustive review process at some non-Unix
|
|
shops, even in languages other than C. Also as v. delint. 2. n. Excess
|
|
verbiage in a document, as in This draft has too much lint.
