We suggest a novel application of a formal specification language: we use it to support some programming conventions and encourage certain styles of programming. The Larch/C Interface Language (LCL) is a language for documenting the interfaces of ANSI C programs. It is designed to support a style of c programming where a program is organized around a set of software modules. Even though C does not support abstract data types, LCL supports the specifications of abstract data types, and provides guidelines on how abstract types can be implemented in C. A lint-like program checks for some conformance of C code to its LCL specification.
