Why should you care about C/C++ static analysis?

Many resources discuss the benefits of using the static analysis tools, and how they could help you  improve your code base.  Somehow they show you what you could gain after using them. But did you asked yourself what do you lose if you don’t use them?

Let’s take an example of a memory corruption due to  free of a pointer twice, this cause random crash. It could take few hours or maybe many days to find this kind of issue. Many similar risky problems exist in C/C++ specially concerning memory corruption.  Just one problem could cost few dollars or many thousands of dollars.
