   I recently (2 weeks ago) started working for Grammatech (makers of 
CodeSonar, see http://grammatech.com), and one of the things they were 
looking for when we interviewed was the ability to help their static 
analysis get to where it could provide high quality feedback on modern C++.

   The tool makers are developing a strong interest in providing better 
analysis tools for C++, and hopefully that effort will succeed.
