Hello all, Sarge recommend a thread on this. So anyways here it is.

What is Squint???
Squint is an editor and static-analyzer (error-checker) for ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead script files. This tool will automatically update to the latest version after installation and if not just run the setup.exe again.

Features:
  • It can work with .sqf, .sqm, .cpp and .ext files
  • It can perform syntax colouring of your scripts as you work
  • It can analyse your scripts for errors and warn you of them as you work
  • It can suggest fixes for common mistakes
  • It can work on files inside pbo'd missions or addons
  • It can 'expand' included files and macros to help debug preprocessor-related problems
Prerequisites
Installation:
  1. Download Squint from here
  2. Run setup.exe
  3. Let it install
  4. The program will appear in your 'Start' menu under "Mac's Tools -> Squint"
An overview of the tool along with screenshots can be found here.
And a guide to using the tool can be found here and here.
