Thursday Jun 23, 2011 at 20:58 GMT
For earlier discussion, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/558
This issue was labelled with: A-an-interesting-project, A-tools, I-wishlist in the Rust repository
This would be useful for many things:
- Figuring out which functions are dead and can be removed.
- Visualize function dependencies (with
dot). - Be the basis for a Rust
ccacheworkalike. - On-demand, lazy unit tests.

Research direction
Start with the earlier discussion in rust-lang/rust#558 and the goals listed in this issue. Define an actionable scope for detecting function dependencies in Rust crates and displaying them, including the dead-code, dot visualization, ccache, and lazy-test use cases; done means the proposal has an agreed design and implementation boundaries.
