Finding unrelated methods in a C ++ application

Question

We have a large C / C ++ source tree that has been around the block several times. We expect that there are a significant number of methods that are no longer used. Is there a tool that can help us quickly identify unused code?

Answer 1

You should get a good static code analyzer.

Check here for the appropriate option.

• Is there a free tool for covering C ++ code that is useful?
• What tools do you use for static code analysis?
• What is your favorite code coverage tool (s) (free and nonfree)

Answer 2

GCC GCov.

Answer 3

At work, we use AQTime for any profiling needs. It comes with a static analysis tool, which should be what you need. However, if you do not need other profilers or are running on a platform or compiler that is not supported by AQTime, this is at least redundant, at least in size.
