Martin Klaus and I are undertaking an examination of lint-like tools
designed for C++ programs, i.e., tools that look for suspect usage of
C++ features in source code and issue appropriate warnings.  Examples
of such likely errors might include declaration of public data
members or failure to declare a virtual destructor in a base class.  

We have identified the following vendors and tools as candidates for
our study: 

    Abraxas Software:              CodeCheck      
    Centerline Software:           C++Expert      
    Gimpel Software                Flexelint/PC-Lint 
    HP:                            CodeAdvisor    
    ParaSoft:                      CodeWizard
    Programming Research:          QA/C++         
    Productivity Through Software: ProLint        

If you have personal experience with any of these tools, or if you
know of additional tools that check C++ usage that are not listed
here, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd send me mail about it.

Note that we are only interested in tools that provide nontrivial
support for C++ source code.  We do not wish to consider tools that deal
only with the C subset of C++, nor are we much interested in tools that
focus on a program's dynamic behavior (e.g., monitors of memory usage). 

Thanks for your help,
