Splint Description

The Secure Programming Group at the University of Virginia's Department of Computer Science is responsible for the development and ongoing maintenance of Splint. David Evans leads the project and serves as its main developer. Memory bounds checking was created by David Larochelle. Significant contributions to Splint's development were also made by University of Virginia students, including Chris Barker, David Friedman, Mike Lanouette, and Hien Phan. Splint serves as the evolution of LCLint, a tool that originated from a collaborative research effort between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Digital Equipment Corporation's System Research Center. David Evans was also the chief designer and developer of LCLint. The initial concept for a static checking tool aimed at identifying discrepancies between LCL specifications and their C implementations came from John Guttag and Jim Horning. Their insights into the design and functionality proved invaluable, playing a crucial role in shaping both LCLint and its successor, Splint. Together, the team has fostered a robust environment for developing tools that enhance software reliability and security.
