Tool Needed

Sep 22nd, 2004

Hello,

Is there any tool which will detect the unused methods of a class in a C++ project? So by using this tool I can reduce my build size by eliminating the un used methods.

PC-lint?

The linker can remove unreferenced functions too. In VC, under Project Settings/"c/c++"/Customize there's a checkbox called "Enable function-level linking."

Check it, and unreferenced functions can go away.
