Lint is a computer programming tool that performs the lexical and syntactic portions of the compilation with substantial additional checks, noting when variables had been used before being set, when they were used as a datatype other than that of their definition, and numerous other programming errors.
Lint also does some kinds of analysis that compilers typically don't do, such as cross-module consistency checking, and checking that the code will be portable to other compilers.
Lint first appeared (outside of Bell Labs) in the seventh version (V7) of the UNIX operating system in 1979.
