Jlint 2.3 README ---------------- Description: ------------ Jlint will check your Java code and find bugs, inconsistencies and synchronization problems by doing data flow analysis and building a lock graph. Original version (1.11) by Konstantin Knizhnik. Enhanced version (2.0) and a few bugfixes by Cyrille Artho. Versions 2.1 and newer: FreeBSD port by Cyrille Artho; Visual C++ port by Maarten Breddels; compatibility patch for older compilers by Eric A. Raymond; OpenBSD patch by Kevin Lo. LinuxPPC and MacOS X port (both trivial) by Cyrille Artho. Usage: ------ User guide is found in readme.html. Installation: ------------ - System requirements: For compiling: C++ compiler, C++ Standard Library with Standard Templates. For compiling the docs: Texinfo; type "make doc". For using: Any Java compiler (no Java Run Time Environment needed). Recommended: A Unix shell (e. g. bash) to run jlint.sh. - Installation: 1. Unpack the archive with unzip jlint.zip (MS-DOS) or gunzip -c jlint.tar.gz | tar -xvf - 2. cd jlint 3. make ; make install Compilation problems: --------------------- If Jlint won't compile for your system, remove the flag -DSLIST in the Makefile, or upgrade to a newer version of the STL. - Windows users: To have .cc files be recognized as C++ source code, check out http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q181/5/06.ASP - MacOS X users: In the first few lines of the Makefile (lines 6 and 7), replace gcc with cc, and g++ with c++. Alternatively, you can create a symbolic link for the compiler executables. - Creating a new Makefile: You can update the Makefile by typing ./mkmf.pl jlint antic readme <Makefile >__tmp__ ; mv __tmp__ Makefile - Supported platforms: Jlint is known to work with recent versions of Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows. There is no user support available, though, as this program is not commercial. Bugs: ----- Send bug reports to cyrille@artho.com, Subject: Jlint.
