Secure SeedLang when Unity Managed Code Stripping is on

How to automate a process to ensure that SeedLang has no such issue?

Unity strips unused code when compiling IL to CPP. See https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ManagedCodeStripping.html

For the code that uses C# Reflection to instantiate a class instance, invoke a method, or access field, Unity could category them as unused code.

Questions:

• Can we avoid using C# Reflection to instantiate instances or access class members?
  • Probably not.
  • We may need C# Reflection to automatically load libs/plugins/extensions to SeedLang.
  • We may also use C# Reflection to implement some table-driven logic.
• Can we have an automatic checker to identify if there are such cases in SeedLang?
  • Not sure.
  • A possible but not elegant solution could be like
  • Having a set of unit tests run in an IL2CPP-compiled Unity application to verify that most critical code pieces work. But this approach is somehow hard to be automated.
