If something like this existed for C, then we wouldn't need to learn a new language!

Plenty of stuff exists, the first one being lint, introduced in 1979.

The problem with C isn't lack of tooling trying to fix it.

Here's one C/C++ targeting tool they cite that is kind of similar: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~dstefan/pubs/brown:2020:sys.pdf

But both tools only catch a subset of stuff, so they're not final cures for safety bugs.
