This paper describes LCLlnt, an efficient and flexible tool that accepts as input programs (written in ANSI C) and various levels of formal specification.Using this information, LCLint reports inconsistencies between a program and its specification. We also describe our experience using LCLint to help understand, document, and re-engineer legacy code.
