#381981 — Static analysis tools to catch use of reserved identifiers?

My inspiration is this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39275575

I'm interested in knowing if there are any static analysis tools which 
catch uses of reserved identifier patterns under standard C in addition 
to those reserved under POSIX.

(Please forgive me if "identifier" is the wrong term here. I'm 
interested in looking at variable names, function names, typedef names, 
struct/union/enum (and their members) names, preprocessor macro names, etc.)

Thanks,
--Anthony

'But "glory" doesn't mean "a nice knock-down argument",' Alice objected.

'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it 
means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'

'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many 
different things.'

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's 
all.'

According to that post clang's "-Wreserved-identifier" option warns
about identifiers that are reserved by the C standard.

If I understand you correctly, "identifier" is exactly the right term.
