Static analysis is a great tool - Clang's isn't too bad - but it isn't the right one to drop into a normal workflow.

We still develop using GCC - for our use case Clang performance isn't there yet - but have our continuous integration system perform Clang builds (as well as other platform/compiler variants, with unit+regression tests, etc.) so we miss out on the immediate build breakage that you mention, but do find out within ~30 mins if someone slipped up.
