@Jeff Ledbetter: I knew roundtable stores xref info because i had a look at the product pages and documentation before starting this thread. Thats why I mentioned it in the question. Because I have never had the chance to use it, I was just not sure if it would be able to find unreferenced members directly. So, thanks for clearing that up. Being able to see what references point to a specific class member is only one step away from my task. Based on this, it should be easier to detect the unreferenced members in a project than starting from pure xref. But as compelling as roundtable looks as a whole, using it only for this purpose, feels like taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Even though I would like to have some other roundtable features in our development environment, it's not enough to get me away from our current setup. It's based on mercurial scm and a custom build tool (with reliable multiprocess compilation for classes) that I wrote two years ago when I was not aware of the community and PCT (yes, shame on me
). But to make it clear: Version Control is my main issue here, not the build tool. Our whole process is based on the advantages that DVCS's like git and mercurial provide. In my eyes, roundtable would be much more interesting if it could be used with git/mercurial as scm. By the way: I missed git/mercurial in your scm comparison document. ------ Back to topic: I started to design the underlying object model and began to fill it with data from xref. All in all I'm making good progress (in C#). More details later.
