I’m busy learning Common Lisp, & I’m looking for a static code analysis tool that will help me develop better style & avoid falling into common traps.
I’ve found Lisp Critic and I think it looks good, but I was hoping that someone may be able to recommend some other tools, and / or share their experiences with them.
Given the dynamic nature of Lisp, static analysis is everything from tough to impossible, depending on the type of source code.
For some purposes I would recommend using the SBCL compiler. Check out its manual for what features it provides. One feature is some form of type inference. It provides also a lot of standard warnings for things like undeclared variables, type problems, calling functions with the wrong number of args, using undefined functions, violating the ANSI CL standard in various ways and more.
