Static analysis is the answer for some of these questions.

While many of us that like C++, would wish for a different evolution process, some of this stuff can be enforced by static analysis tooling.

Just like despite being safer than C++, we still use Sonar, FindBugs, FxCop/Roslyn Analysers, go vet, rust clippy, one more reason to actually use Sonar, clang-tidy, PVS, MSVC analyse,... with languages like C and C++.

In some of these you can add your own rules even, even if not always that straightforward.
