Using PC-lint 9 with CCSv4/v5

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430G2252

I want to use PC-lint 9 with my CCSv4 (and v5 in a short period). During the PC-lint setup, I have to choose the compiler which my IDE is using. So what compiler is CCSv4 using for my MSP430 projects?

 

Are there any other hints when using PC-lint 9 with CCS?

    CCS is using the Texas Instruments MSP430 compiler.

    There was another company  that was doing some PC Lint integration with Eclipse (which CCS is based on) that might be worth a look.

    Well, I don't think that I want to pay money for such an apparently easy task. There should be a way to accomplish this on my own.

    I have a personal copy of PC-Lint 8.* and I could not tailor the tool to be used with CCSv4, even running by command line, the header files from TI produce a lot of warnings/errors.
    Can someone post the configuration files for PC lint?

    I use the following setup of Lint (version 9.00h) with CCSv4:

    - all source code files are listed in a file called files.lnt, one per line
    - Lint is called with c:\lint\lint-nt.exe -i"C:\work\workspace4_new\Lueftersteuerung\include" -d__MSP430G2252__ -e830 -e773 files.lnt > lintoutput.txt

    This suppresses two info messages (830 and 773) and mitigates the problem. Calling Lint with the option -w1 also helps, because then only errors are shown.

    But currently I'm searching for a solution to tell Lint it should ignore a specific file set. When I get a nice working solution, I will post it here. This might do the trick: http://www.gimpel.com/html/techfaq.htm#q2

    Ok, I just learned that Lint considers includes in angle brackets and includes supplied by the -i command line option als 'library headers' (+libclass(angle,foreign) is active as a default setting, according to the supplied pdf manual by Lint). We can set the warning levels of these library headers with the option -wlib(#). Now my Lint call looks like so:

    C:\work\workspace4_new\Lueftersteuerung>c:\lint\lint-nt.exe -i"C:\work\workspace4_new\Lueftersteuerung\include" -d__MSP430G2252__ -wlib(2) files.lnt

    This is from the manual PDF:

    -wlib(0)
    No library messages
    -wlib(1)
    Error messages only (when processing library code.)
    -wlib(2)
    Errors and Warnings only
    -wlib(3)
    Error, Warning and Informational. This is the default
    -wlib(4)
    All messages (not otherwise inhibited).
    

    With this call, most of the info messages caused by TI's headers are not shown.
