Re: Finding unused hdf data

I understand now. We have run into this problem before. One of the
disadvantages of clearsilver becoming a more full language, is that it's not
possible to do this perfectly with static analysis. I think the impedement to
static analysis is mostly the Strings[foo] syntax. That said, this doesn't get
used very often for language variables.

This is one of the reasons I prefer using automatic language extraction,
instead of manual language strings. However, I recognize that automatic
extraction has it's limits and problems as well.

It seems like it might be practical to have a CS evaluation mode that hits a
callback for every HDF variable accessed. It would need to evaluate all
conditional paths. Even then it would have issues like I mentioned above,
however, this may be minimal in your case. This concept sounds vaguely familiar
to me, but I'm not sure why. Any thoughts Brandon?
