Compilers actually have some options to enable that.
The problem is, it only works well in the simplest cases when the code will 100% exhibit UB within a single function.
In most cases, the UB would only manifest on particular input values - if you want your compiler to warn about that then it will report one "potential UB" for every 10 lines of C code, and nobody wants to use such a compiler.
