    I know of no such to dedicated to embedded use. As they tend to choke on the specifics of embedded, you have to play along their rules if you desire to use them, painstakingly isolate the embedded and general-computing parts.

    I don't think it's worth the hassle. YMMV.

    I know you asked the question a long time ago, but now I have the same one.

    I've historically used SciTools Understand C++, might have a different name now.

    For assembler I built my own cross referencing and static analysis tools.

    D​epends on your end goals, there are Lint and MISRA type tools. PC-Lint is supposed to integrate with Keil, so there's likely vendor support or training available there. Or find a contractor with the specific skillset you're seeking.
