Yes. Static analysis is unrelated to compilation. However, it's usually much slower than regular compilation.

Some tools like cppcheck can do it, however it's not possible with clang.

It's not possible to analyse invalid code properly.

You may want to switch to other analysis tool, or wait until MFC is supported.
