Sorry, but that's not what I remember from my C days, nor what wikipedia
says "lint was the name originally given to a particular program that
flagged some suspicious and non-portable constructs (likely to be bugs)
in C language source code." In fact, what would be the point of a C lint
that does that? It's already done by the parsing/syntactical analysis
part of the compiler, there'd be no point writing a separate program
(lint) to do that.
Anyway, yeah, I accept that that (syntax checking only) is what php -l
does, even if I think it's wrong, or at least incorrectly described :)
