User problem: ----------------------------------- -- User need: ----------------------------------- As the source base gets older, the amount of code that is not more called from anywhere grows. The user would benefit from being notified about such code, to maintain the quality of the codebase high. Explicit tool that the user could invoke would be also helpful, but the added value of background detection is that the user does not have to think about doing the cleanup once in a while (many developers never do this) Product requirement: ----------------------------------- Background detection of unused code
We can detest it for private methods / fields at least.
