Re: Finding Unused Identifiers

The comment "that are never accessed in the same buffer" is also incorrect:

(defvar falsepositive 0)

(eval `(print ,(intern (concat "false" "positive"))))

==>

Found unused global identifier(s):

falsepositive


Hyphenated identifiers can yield false negatives:

(defvar has-hyphen 0)

(print 'has)

==>

No unused global identifiers found.

All the best,
Markus.
