AFAIK, we don't have this in-house at this time. It might be worth looking
around for a way to include this in our compilation procedures to help cut
down on the problems to some extent.

The biggest problem is that too many of the "stupid mistake" errors that
happen frequently in C are also the "clever trick" features that regularly
get used in C programming. Checking for them and trying to eliminate them
leaves you with the problem of being alerted to all sorts of "legitimate"
uses of those features. Now you've got to deal with the "I meant to do that"
problem. Does someone come by afterwards, see the warnings and waste a lot
of time trying to eliminate them only to discover that this was what was
intended?
