Hey, that's a code analysis tool, right?
The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance.

Given that we're responsible for LintProject[^] and Visual Lint[^] it shouldn't be a surprise that we use PC-Lint pretty extensively.
Although PC-Lint takes a little tuning to get optimum results from it, we've found it to be extremely effective at spotting little "party quirks" in our (and other people's!) code.
In some cases we've actually been able to predict the conditions that would cause a significant (and unpleasant) change in behaviour of the target app, merely by looking at the context of a simple Lint message such as a variable scope warning. The testers didn't spot it until we told them how to reproduce it...
Highly recommended.
As an aside, a little while ago we seriously looked at using CLRxLint as well, but it seems to be a product whose development has stalled.
Does anyone here have any experience of it?
