Splint Description

The University of Virginia Department of Computer Science has developed and maintained Splint. David Evans is the project leader, and the primary developer for Splint. David Larochelle created the memory bounds testing. Splint was developed by four University of Virginia students, Hien Phan, Mike Lanouette, David Friedman and Mike Friedman. Splint is the successor of LCLint. This tool was originally developed as part of a joint research project by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Digital Equipment Corporation's System Research Center (DEC). LCLint was developed and designed by David Evans. Jim Horning and John Guttag had the original idea of LCLint, a static checking tool that could detect inconsistencies between LCL specifications & their C implementations. They were invaluable in the development of the tool's functionality and design.
