What is PC-lint Plus?
PC-lint Plus is a high-performance static analysis tool for C and C++ that detects bugs, vulnerabilities, and coding standard violations. Its deep semantic analysis goes beyond compiler warnings to catch critical issues that can lead to crashes or security risks.
Designed for embedded, safety-critical, and high-integrity software development, PC-lint Plus integrates smoothly into any workflow and operates entirely on-premise for maximum security.
Find Defects Early
Detect memory errors, buffer overflows, logic faults, and undefined behavior before they become expensive failures.
Comply With Industry Standards
Support for MISRA C 2012, MISRA C 2023, MISRA C 2025, MISRA C++ 2023, CERT C, AUTOSAR17, and AUTOSAR 19.
Improve Security
PC-lint Plus is officially CWE-compatible, enabling secure-by-design coding practices.
Fast, Scalable Analysis
One of the fastest static analysis engines available for C and C++, ideal for time-critical and safety-critical development.
Fully On-premise
All analysis happens within your environment. No code ever leaves your network.
Improve Developer Productivity
Fast, accurate analysis reduces debugging time and helps developers focus on writing high-quality, maintainable code.
