See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sdl/archive/2010/05/13/visual-c-2010... and the articles it links to for Microsoft's approach to the same problem. I think Microsoft's approach is nicer because the annotations are inline with the C/C++ program text.

I agree -- that ATS stuff is hard on the eyes. The goal is laudable, but the medicine is worse than the disease with the way they implemented it. The MS approach is a lot easier to get people on board with, I think.
