thank you for your kindly provided information . may i please inquire as it seems to me any code which is loaded whether static dynamic linking or dynamic loading must i presume 1st be built by its author . iowiu is intended as a build time tool . as for your inquiry yes i investigated include-what-you-use but found it unworkable for my project as per added [EDIT] .
|
|
|
|
|
With dynamic loading it is not loaded at all until specific code runs (not compiles) so static analysis cannot find it because there is no linkage to find.
|
|
|
|
|
thank you for your helpful information . may i please inquire are these dynamically loaded code associated w/ an #include declaration in the calling/loading code file ?
|
|
|
|
|
|
i am familiar w/ loading of DLLs . as they are not associated w/ any #include directive i still do not understand your original post re/ un-usefulness of iowiu re/ same . i wish to stress iowiu is strictly for the processing of #include directives .
|
|
|
|
|
Because
1. You cannot detect that the dll was loaded unless the application is running. Not to mention that all code paths would need to be exercised.
2. To load the dll it must be packaged with the product (for most cases.)
|
|
|
|
|
it appears i did not describe iowiu properly . my meaning of "include only what is utilized" refers only to C++ #include declaration . it has nothing to do re/ DLLs which may be utilized .

Ok but then what is the point?
Generally these sorts of questions involve figuring out how to minimize what is delivered to production.
The delivery must include everything that is needed.

However not a new problem. And many solutions have been tried.
At a minimum it requires caches, dependency trees, and update times. But in my experience they always seem to fail on larger projects which is exactly where the value comes from.
The correct solution however lies in designing the application in the first place such that dependencies are not propagated throughout. That however is not a technological solution.

I got this .Ignore file [^]off of Git, but I'm still ending up with all kinds of unwanted files in my unstaged. I'm new to setting this up. I'm sure I've done something wrong. Can someone shed some light?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Is the first square in your capture the “end of file” character?
What happens if you type/cat the file?

Perhaps this is relevant - if they are not filtered after commit, perhaps there is a mismatch between global git configuration and a local git configuration (?) Quote: Global Git ignore rules
In addition, you can define global Git ignore patterns for all repositories on your local system by setting the Git core.excludesFile property. You'll have to create this file

Might help to specify the exact files (some of them) which you do not expect are showing up.

I have mountains of stuff, lots of it is software like old versions of Visual Studio and older IDEs, along with books for learning a number of long obsolete tools, like MFC and TurboPascal. Many years ago, when it was impossible to afford any MS product on a normal income, a member here generously sent me a version of VS that I could never otherwise purchase, and got me up and running again. I would hate to throw this stuff away and later learn that there was someone here who could really use it, either to learn, or to support an older product. But I have no idea how to find anyone who might need what I'm about to toss. Can someone make a suggestion? I'm sure there are others here in my same predicament.

Storage is so cheap these days that I don't bother to throw away stuff. Just file it somewhere. I never find it when I need it but that's OK, I always find it the next day

There is no such thing as cheap storage. This is physical product, not software images. I have an entire room that I cannot traverse on foot because of the piles of books, papers and CDs. Oh, and there's a few guns in there, too, along with a bunch of ammo. I have a 45' shipping container sitting in the middle of a 20 acre parcel of land filled to the brim with "stuff" that I can't even get to. I had to bury the doors with my tractor to keep the tweakers from breaking into it when I'm away. Now I have to hide my tractor to keep them from stealing it. In my back yard, I have a 10' x 10' shed full of containers of books - mostly computer related. This has got to end, but I don't want to trash anything any of my friends here can use. It's a quandry...

I see! Your problem is orders of magnitude larger than mine. 
For CD's I made them all ISO images and put them on a NAS. I have 16TB available so I could store a bit more than 20000 CD's and I've never had anywhere near that number. Floppies and zip disks (remember those?) had the same fate. Good thing I did it before my zip drive died. Most documents have also been scanned as well as some books that I was particularly attached to.
If you make a list of what you have, count me among those interested. Good luck!

I'll put you on the list, Mircea. This won't be soon, but it's something I have to do! I wonder if my copy of ProLog for DOS will run on Windows 11? AI is starting to look big!

My old DOS based TurboProlog doesn't work on Win11.

Pretty sure you can spin up a Win 95 in a VM on Windows 11. Win 95 ran on MS/PC-DOS (it was shell on top) so that instance would have it.
And, if I recall correctly from somewhere (either this site or a story in the newsletter) you can run Win 95 without a license now.
