The Trusted Standard in C/C++ Static Analysis for Over 35 Years!
What is PC-lint Plus?
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.
