Hi Konstantin,
There are a few passes related to templates, maybe Yang can explain
them. I believe they are handling specific cases rather than being
fully general-purpose, which isn't that easy.
Anyway, we agree that this sort of thing is needed. The problem is that
sophisticated manipulation of C++ programs is hard and we don't have a
lot of manpower-- both Yang and I are working on multiple projects. And
Yang must graduate eventually!

Hi all,
There are passes "remove-unused-function", "remove-unused-var", and
"remove-unused-field"
in creduce, but I haven't found anything like "remove-unused-class" or
"remove-unused-template".
I think such passes could be useful on earlier stages of reduction then existing
"remove-unused-*"
passes, because they can eliminate potentially larger chuncks of code,
especially when template
libraries like STL are used in translation unit.
