I'd say a good static code analysis require a full compiler frontend and 
I see no reasons why there can't be such thing in dmd as it is just as 
required as profiler, unittesting or documentation generation which are 
already in. Of course it has nothing to do with compiler warnings and is 
a separate thing. But looks like people aren't interested in it as 
enhancement request 9811 [1] still has no votes or discussion.
