One might reasonably think so.

The last post of this type was on October 1, 2007, according to my
search of Google Groups. That post says this:

18.2: How can I track down these pesky malloc problems?

A: See the full list for a list of tools.

Near the top of the post, there is a URL specified:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html

That URL has some hyperlinks in the answer to question 18.2. Clicking
on the hyperlink for "CodeCenter" results in "The page cannot be
found". There is no hyperlink for Valgrind, let alone PC-lint or
Coverity, which in this day and age are tools that are worthy of
mention.

Having broken hyperlinks in the C FAQ may be interpreted by some as
akin to top-posting to this newsgroup. Two wrongs don't make a right,
and adamantly admonishing one wrong and not the other may well be
construed as being hypocritical, IMHO. As always, YMMV.

I fail to see any connection between top-posting and broken links in
the FAQ. I often complain about top-posting when I see it; if I
haven't complained about the broken links, it's because I haven't
noticed them.

Since you've noticed them, you should notify Steve Summit.
