What is it?

The idea of this project was to take the plain text message desctiption file that is shipped with PC-Lint, and hyperlink it to allow for quicker searching and better integration into IDEs.

The current version for PC-Lint 9.0 is a Windows compressed HTML file (chm)

An example message lookup, looks like the following

A Lot of time was taken to make message IDs stand out, as well as message titles. Source examples are colorized to allow for easy reading, and all message IDs mentioned in a description and hyperlinked to their own message bodies.

You can use this like any other help file in windows, you can just click on the pc-lint90.chm file and do a search, but a better thing to do is integrate it into your IDE.. I have integrated it into EditPlus.

An example command line looks like this:

hh pc-lint90.chm::/messages.html#101

or

hh -mapid 101 pc-lint90.chm

In both of these examples the '101' is the message ID you want to look up.
