Details

(Keywords: meta)

Reachable is a proof-of-concept static analysis that uses Searchfox data to detect files in our codebase, in particular in third-party libraries, that are part of the build but not actually used by any code.

Removing or disabling such code at build time is desirable to decrease build time, code size and to make code coverage analysis easier.

This bug is for tracking the removal of code based on the tool results.
