you can give a try pvs-studio:

http://www.viva64.com/en/pvs-studio/ (1)

also there is (bla-bla-lint): http://www.gimpel.com/html/index.htm (2)

missed note about linux, FlexeLint for C/C++ from (2) has linux support, (1) only for windows, you can check it only if your product crossplatform.

You can also customize GCC (4.6) by using plugins (coded in C) or MELT extensions (MELT is a high-level domain specific language to extend and customize GCC). This approach could be appropriate if you have your own coding rules that you want to check. However, it does take some work.

Take a look at clang's static analizer: http://clang-analyzer.llvm.org/

There are other tools like KLEE based on llvm, might worth a look, too.
