Well I am not sure what you mean by a linter or lint program,

I know what lint is, but I never heard anyone referring
to static analysis programs collectivly as linters before :-)
And using the phrase lint program for this purpose is to me
actively confusing!
Sorry, I thought "lint" was used as a generic term for C static analysis
programs (named after the original "lint" program, obviously). The most
commonly used commercial static analysis tool is Gimpel's "PC-Lint" for
Windows or "FlexeLint" for Linux (and other systems).
I'll try to remember not to use the term generically.
