title: Are C++ static code analyis tools worth it?
body: <p>Our management has recently been talking to some people selling C++ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis" rel="noreferrer">static analysis tools</a>.  Of course the sales people say they will find tons of bugs, but I'm skeptical.</p>
  
  <p>How do such tools work in the real world?  Do they find real bugs?  Do they help more junior programmers learn?</p>
  
  <p>Are they worth the trouble?</p>
