I've not yet gotten around to trying to use its full capabilities - they seem rather nice. It seems a possibly usable alternative if you're on a budget or have quite a bit free time to set it up for the project; however, it still hasn't (or at least I seem to remember it hasn't) the value-tracking capabilities of flexelint, which make it automatically detect missing checks for return values etc. This is _very_ useful.
