How to find unreachable functions with deadcode

Functions that are part of a project's source code but are never executed are known as dead code and make maintaining the codebase difficult

To identify this type of unreachable function, it is essential to apply static code analysis that detects uncovered execution paths as well as unit coverage tests that reveal untested code segments

Among the most widely used tools are SonarQube, which offers dead code detection as well as integration with continuous integration pipelines, in addition to specialized code analyzers capable of generating detailed reports of unused functions

Eliminating unreachable functions optimizes readability and reduces potential vulnerabilities, which complements cybersecurity solutions and improves the overall performance of custom applications and custom software
