Dce & abstracts #18

Closed benmerckx closed 6 years ago

benmerckx commented 6 years ago

Seems like hxgenjs generates output for all abstracts even if their implementation is unused (even with -dce full).

Are they empty? or at least no meaningful contents (fields / methods etc)

Ignore that.

The type list comes from the compiler. But I guess we can maintain a global "used type" list ourselves.

benmerckx commented 6 years ago

If there's no properties or statics at all they don't need to be generated? Since abstracts are otherwise a compile time feature the type itself shouldn't be needed (I think). Does the generator know it's an abstract?

benmerckx commented 6 years ago

There's still some left in my output without any statics, so I'm going to reopen this and investigate. They must be reaching the type processor in another way.
