Was it PC-Lint?

That was probably a bad choice. John Carmack did not rate it very highly:

No, not that one. Maybe PVS-xxxx

Here is a list of almost every known static analysis tool for C++:

https://analysis-tools.dev/tag/cpp

The only one I know to exist absent from that list is Microsoft’s /analyze.

That said, I am surprised that D only has 1 tool listed:

Maintainer of the list here. Thanks for mentioning it. I have not heard of Microsoft's analyze. Could you paste a link here? I will add it to the list, then. Alternatively you could send a pull request to the repository. ;) https://github.com/analysis-tools-dev/static-analysis

It is a static analyzer built into Microsoft Visual Studio:

The only reason I know about it is that John Carmack rated it highly:
