Hi, I don't think anyone is working on that yet.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html for some prerequisites to
contributing significant changes to GCC.
I don't know the status of the static analysis tool the Microsoft were
planning to release, which would do a lot of the checking. To
incorporate the checks into GCC would probably involve changes to both
the C++ front-end and the C++ library, but I would welcome such
changes.
