Static analysis has a significant advantage over runtime checks for memory leaks, especially in code that is almost never executed, because bugs can remain hidden until they appear in production. The code where I found the bug last year was executed occasionally, and to create a unit test, it was necessary to integrate with another server. So it wasn't easy to check at runtime. On the other hand static analysis will catch the error at first compilation even on those almost never executed code.
