I'm not aware of any code generators, but there are a few static code
scanners that are routinely run against the kernel.

Coverity used to be one.  I don't know if they still run it or not.
Also, some people run other static code analysis tools looking for
optimizations or bugs.

Hopefully someone else can help you out if that is related to your question.
