Weeding out unused LabWindows/CVI functions and variables

[bmihura]

Is there a tool to weed out unused LabWindows/CVI functions and global variables in a CVI project?

I know CVI can catch unused local variables, but what about these other things?

Have you taken a look at PC-Lint?

There is no functions or tools inside of CVI that will tell you which variables or functions are not use. It will tell you about variables that are not used when you compile the code, however any defined functions that are not used will not cause any messages to appear.

Thanks for the replies here.

I would try PC-Lint if weren't $239!

I managed to write my own crude function weeder-outer using LabVIEW though, that went smoothly.

Well, if the cost of PC-Lint is too steep, you can try one of the open-source alternatives.   Free to download and install.  Splint seems to be popular.  Let us know how it works if you try it.
