Probably old-news to many people around here, but a really useful utility which I have found to help me while developing in C is the successor to LCLint, Splint - I installed this package yesterday on my development box and have immediately been able to lift the quality of my code and incorporate better testing procedures for what I am working on.
It would be really cool to come up with a bunch of XS-specific annotations and augment extensions and perl itself with Splint. Probably improve things greatly.
This is way beyond my poor powers, at this point.

It would be really cool to come up with a bunch of XS-specific annotations and augment extensions and perl itself with Splint.This is a really cool idea - I would imagine that even commenting the Perl source alone with Splint annotations would be useful, especially for those who like to "experiment". Something else for me to add to the TODO list for when I have some free time

I'm currently working on getting splint happy w/Perl source.
