Subject: lclint warnings, disablement, help please!


Yes, lclint uses the ./.lclintrc and ~/.lclintrc files for reading
options.  (It will read the ~/.lclint file first; then flags in the
.lclintrc file in the current directory (if there is one) supercede
those in the ~/.lclint file.)

One way to get what you want would be to create a ~/.lclintrc file
containing:

	+charint

This makes char and int types indistinguishable, so no errors will be
reported where an int is used when a char is expected (and vice-versa).

If you just want to disallow the int i = '\0'; error, you would use
+charintliteral (to make character literals type-equivalent to ints.)
There is no more-specific way to disable the a[0] = 0 error (e.g., a
symettric equivalent to charintliteral for using integer literals as
chars, although I would claim that this is "less safe" in general.)
