This is a tool to help source code auditors find potential trouble spots in C, C++, Perl, Python and PHP code. It's available under the GPL.

This tool is just a simple token-based pattern matching tool that performs only a modicum of static analysis. Nonetheless, it looks for a wide variety of problem types, and currently has a much larger database than any similar tools.
