Question

here’s my problem, I’m tidying up some old code which I’ve modified over the years and removing redundent functions,

I can do it the slow way & comment it out and see if the compiler throws an error.
But I’m just wondering if there are any tools which can which scan code and give a list of functions which call a given function.

I Had a look in ge-experts & icarus, but they only do this at the level of units & classes not down to functions.

any suggestions welcome,
many thanks, Brian

Recent versions of Delphi have “Search for References” available via context menu or Ctrl-Shift-Enter. This has the advantage over a simple “search in files” that it will find only references to the current function under the cursor and not also any function or other identifier with the same name.
