[Feature] Add CodeCop rule for checking for not used procedures #4714

Closed makuhn closed 5 years ago

makuhn commented 5 years ago

Add a CodeCop rule to report all procedures (functions) that are declared but not used within this app which means a procedure does not have any reference in actual project.

Benefit of this CodeCop rule is having a better support for code refactoring. Actually there is no possibility to easily retrieve procedures that are no longer needed than having a look into each single AL file and to check the references for each single procedure.
