Cleanscape C++Lint
provides ease-of-use enhancements including three user interfaces:
(a) a graphical user interface with point and click control of PC-lint's analysis with hyperlinks to numerous code editors
(b) deep integration with Visual Studio, automated by Cleanscape
(c) the classic command line with return codes for scripts or builds

Visual Lint from Riverblade
is an add-on software product which allows you to more effectively run PC-lint from within Microsoft Visual Studio and even provides for automatic background linting of your code.

LintProject from Riverblade
is a command line tool to enhance your use of PC-lint with Visual C++. LintProject can be run against a Visual C++ project or solution file (.dsp, .vcproj, .sln or .dsw), and will tell PC-lint which source files to analyse. It will write XML and HTML reports which link to your PC-lint output and indicate how many warnings were found within each implementation file, project and solution. These reports are automatically refreshed in real time so you can follow the progress of PC-lint's analysis of your code.

HLL - Heuristic Lint issue Locator by Ralf Holly. After a PC-lint run, you frequently want to know what exactly a warning is about. In this case, you fire-up ‘msg.txt‘ and search for the error number. With HLL (a Perl script) it's much easier: just pass it the error number (or numbers) and it extracts the corresponding parts from ‘msg.txt’ and displays them on the console.

Lint Metrics & ALOA by Ralf Holly, C/C++ Users Journal, June 2004
"ALOA (short for A Lint Output Analyzer) is a tool that processes output generated by PC-lint and computes various useful metrics that give a quick overview of the internal quality of any C/C++ project. Furthermore, it shows which kind of Lint issues are most frequently encountered and highlights issue-laden modules. The metrics produced by ALOA are useful for tracking a project's lint compliance and for fine-tuning Lint policies."
