Amiga Lint from Gimpel Software ($99 list) does this as well as many other
checks.  I still use it even though I have my Manx 5.0.  Another thing
Lint checks, for instance, is suspicious indentation, like

if (a)
	if (b)
		c;
else
	d;

will generate a warning that the else is to the left of its associated if.
