Description
The good old lint(1) is still available from NetBSD:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/usr.bin/xlint/
It is also available in FreeBSD:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/usr.bin/xlint/
I tried quickly grabbing the sources and compiling it, but ran into the *BSD specific build oddities (like ".include <bsd.subdir.mk> " in Makefiles), with which I'm not that familiar.
I'm aware of splint (www.splint.org) being available with macports, but it seems to die (become unusable) pretty quickly on anything that touches OS X header files (e.g. trying to process the Perl source code files). I have no proof that the Classic Lint would fare any better, but I can hope.
