;;; This code is currently essentially the same as code posted by Eric ;;; Marsden to cmucl-imp, to detect stale symbols in a core. ;;; ;;; Known deficiencies: ;;; ;;; * output is not necessarily terribly clear; ;;; * takes a long time (several hours on CSR's 300MHz x86 desktop) to ;;; run. ;;; ;;; Comment from Eric Marsden: ;;; ;;; This file contains code that attempts to identify symbols in a ;;; CMUCL image that are stale. For example, the package descriptions ;;; in src/code/package.lisp can get out of sync with the source code, ;;; leading to symbols that are exported without being used anywhere. ;;; ;;; The routines work by walking all the objects allocated in a heap ;;; image (using the function VM::MAP-ALLOCATED-OBJECTS). For each ;;; object of type symbol, it scans the entire heap for objects that ;;; reference that symbol. If it finds no references, or if there is ;;; only one reference that looks like it is likely from the internals ;;; of a package-related datastructure, the name of the symbol and its ;;; package is displayed. ;;; ;;; The "references to that symbol" are found using the function ;;; SB-VM::MAP-REFERENCING-OBJECTS. Consider for example a function ;;; that uses the value of a symbol. The code-object for that function ;;; contains a reference to the symbol, so that a call to SYMBOL-VALUE ;;; can be made at runtime. The data structures corresponding to a ;;; package must maintain a list of its exported an imported symbols. ;;; They contain a hashtable, which contains a vector, which contains ;;; symbols. So all exported symbols will have at least one ;;; referencing object: a vector related to some package. ;;; ;;; Limitations: these routines may provide a number of false ;;; positives (symbols that are not actually stale). There are also a ;;; number of PCL-related symbols that are displayed, but probably ;;; used internally by PCL. Moral: the output of these routines must ;;; be checked carefully before going on a code deletion spree.
