Re: [ob] Garbage collect unused macros

Aren't there scripts somewhere for detecting unused macros and
functions? If someone knows I'd appreciate a pointer.
I think I had a couple homemade scripts that I used for GDB years and years ago, probably packed three layers deep in archives of old files by now. They wouldn't have been any deeper than accumulating lists of defines and uses, then diff'ing the two. I remember diff'ing against the internals manual too.
