Yeah, probably. That said, LLVM Clang has many of that same sort of static analysis baked into the compiler, if you just turn the flags on for it. (-Wall -Wextra -Werror).
It's also pretty trivial to hook cppcheck into your automatic workflow and/or IDE to handle all the stuff the compiler doesn't complain about.

cppcheckinto your automatic workflow and/or IDE to handle all the stuff the compiler doesn't complain about.TIL, thanks! I don't know that I've ever compiled C++ without that set of flags, I'm a little scared to.
Just in case I wasn't clear,
cppcheckis an external static analyser, but it's quite a good one!Yeah, I never work without
-Wall -Wextra -Werror. I ususally throw-Wpedanticin there too, for good measure.Also, Qt Creator IDE has an amazing static analyzer working out-of-the box.
