There are C++ analyzers like this which are also designed to prevent it (if you have no choice between languages).
I've seen things like this posted several times on here. It always turns out it doesn't actually catch all the possible problems, or it's garbage collected, or it's non-usable for real code.
If it was that easy, the people who wrote Rust with all it's complexity and divergence from the norm were idiots, and I really don't think they were.
It's pleasure for me to write in rust, I really like how fast I can deploy a working solution (including debug time). As I mentioned, there are situations when, for some reason, you cannot do without C++. But you are right cpp-analyzers do not solve all possible problems.
