There's a benefit to Gimpel's PC-Lint that isn't mentioned nearly
often enough, and that's how useful it can be to someone who, like the
OP, is learning C or C++. If you don't happen to be working closely
with an expert who can coach you on good coding practices, PC-Lint can
help you learn to write clean code before bad habits become
entrenched.
