Finding unused units with a project.

[Nicholas Ring]

Hi all,

I have a [very] large project and would like to remove any obsolete
units that are not called any more.

I read (a long time ago) that a detailed .MAP file could help me to do
this but I am not totally sure how.

Could someone please show me how this is done.

Many thanks in advance,
Nick

Hi Nick :-)
I don't know about MAP files, but there is a freeware tool found here

http://www.peganza.com/#ICARUS

that can tell you unused units (don't know about it's limits and I haven't
used it before myself)

cheers,
Paul

I had the same problem when inheriting some libraries; CnPack has a
'Uses Cleaner' option. Works great and saved me a lot of time.

CnPack IDE Wizards (CnWizards) is a separate download.

To find the wizards in the IDE check this screen shot:

FWIW, i wrote a utility to automatically remove all unused units in all of the units in a project all at once.

i wrote code to specifically leave in units of the VCL that were added by Delphi because there were components used in the DFM -- even though the project would still compile without those units in the uses clause.

the utility is part of the <very beta> codewrench project
http://sourceforge.net/projects/codewrench
