lclint is one of the more interesting ones - it does some funky
dataflow analysis stuff to pick up much more than an ordinary lint.
However, squashing the false positives can be hard work.

It used to be non-free, but I believe the license has now changed -
although I'm not sure the change has flowed through to debian moving
the package out of the non-free section yet.
