DevTools Lacks Differentiation Between Code Currently Unused At Present Moment Vs. Entirely Unused/Dead Code #223

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

As stated, from my understanding of the Chrome DevTools Protocol, there is no differentiation between code that is unused for a specific page load and code that is not utilized throughout an entire application. Instead, any code not utilized at the time of the page load is labeled entirely unused which is a little misleading, and unhelpful for cleanup of an application. In the future, it would be nice to see support for a feature along this line to aid with refactoring and cleanup.
