I have static analysis tools that prove absence (or presence) of UB.
With limitations, and with configurable effort spent. The static
analysis tools
that my company sells don't seem to do that, but the tools of at least
two competitors (and, in various areas, partners and suppliers) do.
I want them to do more of that.
