New Release! HP Code Advisor C.01.15 is now available for free download.

The following are the notable features of this release:

* Generate code complexity metrics to gauge the complexity of the code being developed or migrated
* Detect multi-thread programming issues
* Create easily manageable snapshots of the PDB
* New options for finer control of the diagnostics at individual module and macro levels
* Improved cross-file analysis time
* Enhancements to the -crossfile option for selective enablement
* -target option to help reduce build to only modified elements
* Enhancements to reporting, including generation of HTML report

HP C Advise

Like "lint", this tool seems great at running some more thorough code analysis. I recommend running this if you have HP Itanium systems.
