Dead Code Detection
While developing software programs, some project parts are usually rewritten and
altered several times so that there are good chances for dead (unused)
variables, constants, types, enums and even entire procedures or components
to be left behind. The CodeSMART Code Analyzer can track and report such
unused code that has a negative impact on the size of the resulting application.
Because dead code is divided into several categories (dead variables, dead declares,
dead enums, dead procedures and even components, etc.), you can instruct the Code
Analyzer to search for all or just some of them by using the Code Analysis Options
dialog box.
To change dead code detection settings:
-
In the CodeSMART main menu, select the Code Analyzer entry from the Reviews popup, or click the same button from the Other Tools toolbar to display the Code Analyzer dialog-box (quick toolbar
and menu references are available).
-
Click on the detailed configuration link in order to display the Code Analyzer Options dialog and then activate the Dead Code tab.
-
Check/uncheck the items you want to include/exclude from analysis.
-
Click OK to make the changes permanent.
