@pixx there used to be a UML modelling tool whose name now escapes me... kdevelop? may be? but it was capable of both taking your UML diagrams and spitting out code or taking in code from C, C++ and handful of other languages and analyze it. I unfortunately have not done any coding since 2004 seriously but even then, there were commercial offerings that had that capability. for some reason name Rational Rose comes to mind as well.
This is nothing new and capability existed way before LLMs did. just may not be available in non-commercial format today :(

@Rajiv I'm aware of UML and such but that's not really what I'm looking for I'm talking about tools that can, say, analyze the lifetime of a malloc-ed allocation and interactively walk around its usage I'd be kinda surprised if none of the LSPs out there can do *any* of it. It's hard but not outrageously so...
