Unused local method (UnusedLocalMethod)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default value
attachableMethodPrefixes	String	Method prefixes (comma separated)	подключаемый_,attachable_
checkObjectModule	Boolean	Check object modules	false

Description

Modules should not have unused procedures and functions. Diagnostics can skip attachable methods that have prefixes specified in the diagnostic parameter.

Event handlers are not reported as unused: the platform calls them itself, so there is no call in the module body. In a managed form module, handlers are the procedures declared by the form — its own events, its items' events and command actions.

The diagnostic does not run:

• in an ordinary form module — its events are not modelled in the context, so a handler would be indistinguishable from a forgotten method;
• in a module whose type could not be determined — that is how a single file opened outside a project looks: the module owner, and therefore its events, are invisible, so every handler would look like a method nobody calls.
