I got an answer from Gilles: I've read this thead, and really would like to announce a release date. However, this release is dependant on my good will, but unfortunately also on legal matters. So my best bet is "soon"... All in all I would say the answer to my initial question is no, because there is no tool available to detect unreferenced (dead) members (class variables, properties, events, methods) in OOABL. Chances are that it would be easier to write the rules to find these members against Gilles API, but it's also possible using xref (except for the private ones). My plan is to create an object model from xref as foundation for the concrete task of finding dead members. I'm going to code in C# so that it can be used from ABL easily, without the need for IKVM.NET. Parser and object model will reside in a separate assembly to make them available for other use cases and to keep them independent from the tool. If I manage to leave experimental stage successfully I will publish it on github.
