Subject:	A program to find all unused symbols in a C program
Message-ID:	<34DB2D72539@fs2.mt.umist.ac.uk>

  Re the thread that I started re how to find unused global symbols in a big
multi-file program, I just now quickly threw together this C program. Its call
args should be the names of one or more *.S files created by djgpp -S . It
will report in file `_.O' (in mangled form) all symbols declared but not used
in those *.S files (which should be the *.S forms of all the files that make
up one multi-file program). If you want to develop it further, you can.
  CXXFILT < _.O > _.OO
  will then produce in _.OO the same output with the symbol names demangled.
