(Apologies if I have talked about this before, but my memory is shot because of strong pain drugs that I’m on, and it never was any good before either, so I may be repeating myself.)

I’m using GDC and LDC, comparing the two, and in a medium sized routine that I have written pretty much every routine is inlined all the time. No-one takes the addresses of the routines, and they are not called externally to the module, marked private. (Is that the same as ‘static’ in C and D ?) So there’s no reason for the compiled copies of the function bodies to still exist. This makes the module unnecessarily huge with all this unused code just sitting there. Is there anything I can be doing about this, to make them go away, with appropriate configuration?

It’s a wishlist item for the compilers, to check for zero-usage-count in functions that are always inlined, private and where there’s no pointer-taking so no chance of indirect calls. Is that sufficient?
