lint(1) bug
Mon Dec  7 16:34:50 EST 1981 (reported by ittvax!freb)
[ ]	The lint shell driver has a bug in the -p and -n flags:
	they are looked for as "-*p*" and "-*n*", evan after another
	argument type is matched.  If you try to specify alternate
	include directories with -I, or an alternate library with -l,
	and the directory or library name has an 'n' in the name, it
	turns off checking against the standard library.  If the name
	has a 'p' in it, it tries to use the "port" library.  Fix is:

	-------------------------------------------------------------------
	: 'fix to lint'
	cp /usr/src/cmd/lint/SHELL /tmp/upd.$$.tmp ; chmod +w /tmp/upd.$$.tmp
	ed - /tmp/upd.$$.tmp <<\!XXFUNNYXX . P="port" Q !XXFUNNYXX W X="$X$A" -*P*) /TMP/UPD.$$.TMP CASE $A -*) 7,10D 15C DIFF IN ;; ESAC /USR/SRC/CMD/LINT/SHELL -*N*)>/tmp/upd.$$.dif
	if cmp - /tmp/upd.$$.dif <<\!XXFUNNYXX 15C11,16 < P="port" X="$X$A" -*P*) 7,10D6 CASE $A -*) --- IN ;; ESAC -*N*)> 	-*)	X="$X$A"
	> 		case $A in
	> 		-*n*)	P= ;;
	> 		-*p*)	P=port ;;
	> 		esac
	> 		;;
	!xxFUNNYxx
	then
		: 'compare equal, ok'
		rm -f SHELL
		cp /tmp/upd.$$.tmp SHELL ; chmod a-w SHELL
	else
		echo "Old source file not same version;" \
			"use diff listings by hand"
	fi
	rm -f /tmp/upd.$$.tmp /tmp/upd.$$.dif
