It (Lint) tends to catch things where not all the data types are the same. Of course, Pascal just doesn't let you make the mistake in the first place... (or, at least, makes you work really hard to do it!) Ada doubly so! WHY has the idea of strong typing not taken off in critical areas like embedded systems ? I have watched with disbelief postings in this thread arguing about something which should be absolutely nailed down by the language. I've written some heavy code in Pascal of various flavours, and I've not found anything I couldn't do - and without using pointer types either. Steve |
