The nearest thing I can think of would be to use the free compiler g++
and turn on every checking switch you can find.

If you are using Windows, the Watcom C++ compiler is now open source,
or at any rate a free download, and you could try every checking switch
you can find for that as well.  It might not cope; C++ changed a lot during
the standardisation process and trying to keep up was a company-killing job.

There was a "loose" parser for C++ developed as part of a metrics program
or something like that by a student at one of the New Zealand universities;
I have a paper copy of an article about that at home which I'll try to bring
in tomorrow.
