This is a recommended maintenance update for Visual Lint 7.0. The following changes are included:

• If an output report folder is specified on the command line and its path is relative, VisualLintConsole now resolves it before starting analysis. This ensures that the path referenced in any status/progress messages is is unambiguous.

• Fixed a bug in VisualLintConsole in the copying of Javascript baggage files to the (optional) output report folder.

• Fixed a minor display bug in the VisualLintGui "Projects" Display.

This is a recommended maintenance update for Visual Lint 6.0 and 6.5. The following changes are included:

• Modified generated Vera++ command lines to replace the -showrules option with --show-rule. In consequence the minimum supported version of Vera++ is now 1.2.1.
  
• When a Visual Studio 2017 project using the /Zc:alignedNew or /Zc:alignedNew+ option is loaded the C++ 17 __STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__ preprocessor symbol will now be included in the generated analysis configuration.
  
• Corrected the value of _MSC_FULL_VER referenced in the PC-lint Plus compiler indirect files for Visual Studio .NET 2002 and 2003 (co-rb-vs2002.lnt and co-rb-vs2003.lnt respectively).

The new website also includes an interactive demonstrator for PC-lint Plus, which allows you to try it out on sample C++ 11/14/17 or C89/99/11 code:

Gimpel's PC-lint Plus online demonstrator.

At the moment the demonstrator only includes compiler configurations for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015, but please don't let that put you off as it can work with most compilers including those based on GCC.

Also noteworthy is the following statement:

How long will PC-lint/FlexeLint Version 9 be supported?

PC-lint/FlexeLint Version 9 are no longer being maintained. The final update was Version 9.00L, released in 2014. Technical support will be provided for these products through the end of 2018.

That being the case, we intend to remove PC-lint 9.0 from our online store shortly. Gimpel are selling PC-lint Plus licences directly rather than via resellers, so if you need a quote for a PC-lint Plus licence please contact sales@gimpel.com for details or use the links below.

This is a recommended maintenance update for Visual Lint 6.0 and 6.5. The following changes are included:

• Fixed an MSBuild parsing bug which was preventing Visual Studio system include folders from being read in some circumstances.
  
• Fixed a bug which could prevent the VisualLintGui code editor determining the location of PC-lint Plus indirect files in order to open them from a context menu.
  
• Updated the values of _MSC_VER and _MSC_FULL_VER in the PC-lint Plus indirect file co-rb-vs2017.lnt for compatibility with Visual Studio 2017 v15.8.3. This change is needed to fix a fatal error in yvals_core.h if _MSC_VER is less than 1915.
  
• Added a PC-lint Plus compatible version of lib-stl.lnt to the installer as it is not currently supplied with PC-lint Plus.
  
• Added additional indirect files needed for analysing Visual Studio 2012, 2013 and 2015 codebases with PC-lint Plus 1.2 to the installer.
  
• If a project intermediate files folder does not currently exist, it will not be referenced with a -i (include folder) directive on generated PC-lint or PC-lint Plus command lines. This avoids extraneous 686 warnings "(Warning -- option '-i<folder path>' is suspicious: absolute path is not accessible)".
  
  Note that if build artifacts (e.g. .tlh or .tli files) are required for analysis purposes, analysing without the intermediate folder will most likely result in analysis errors. In this case, performing a build and re-analysing the affected files/projects should fix it.
