Subject:	a program to find unused global symbols in a multi-file program
Reply-to:	Anthony DOT Appleyard AT umist DOT ac DOT uk
Message-ID:	<7969206701@fs2.mt.umist.ac.uk>

  I wrote this Gnu C program (WEEDSYMS.C) to find unused global symbols in a
multi-file djgpp program. To use it:-
  (1) Compile all the program's component files with `gcc ... -S' to produce
*.S files. (In the case of the text editor AAEMACS that I wrote, that will
produce files CC.S MAIN.S EM.S DISPLAY.S MACROS.S KEYF.S ZIP.S .)
  (2) EITHER call WEEDSYMS.EXE with all these *.S filenames as its args, e.g.
       WEEDSYMS CC.S MAIN.S EM.S DISPLAY.S MACROS.S KEYF.S ZIP.S
      OR type e.g.        WEEDSYMS @ARGFILE
    where the file ARGFILE contains all the *.S filenames, one per line.
  (3) The list of unused global symbols will now be on the file _.O (in
`mangled' form, if the *.S files were compiled by C++), one per line. If a
symbol started with an underline, that underline is printed out as space, to
produce the correct input form for the demangler CXXFILT.
  -------------------------------------------------------
    It will not find unused inlined functions (unless you un-inline them by
inserting or #include'ing `#define inline' at the top of each source file).
    It will not output line numbers correctly unless the *.S files were
compiled with the -g option.
