Oh, there's a lot more tools on the way. C is one language that you could spend whole books on just the tools.

- irahul 15y agoMay be a good idea to mention some of them. `valgrind` and `lint` comes to mind. On second thoughts, `lint` can be dropped; compiler warnings are good enough for a beginner(in fact, good enough for experienced programmers; subjective).
- JoshTriplett 15y agoThe original lint tools seem entirely superseded by modern compiler warnings. On the other hand, a whole new class of static analysis tools exist now, such as Sparse, Coccinelle, Frama-C, and in the proprietary world Coverity.
