By using some proof tools, you can find some of it.

It is technically impossible to find 100% of it at compile time because some of the finer details about what is UB are not nailed down 100% yet. But those are generally pretty fine corner cases, and one of the goals of those definitions is to not invalidate code as written.

Formal verification is very hard.
