This is related to a feature in the futhark compiler <https://github.com/diku-dk/futhark/issues/550>, which is a language with a similar module system.

I am trying to create a tool to detect unused top-level functions in Futhark, and I have been looking in the ghc codebase to find out how it does so. So far I have found these areas:

1. warning flag
   
<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/master/compiler/GHC/Driver/Flags.hs#L556-557>
2. WarnUnusedTopBinds
   
<https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/blob/master/compiler/GHC/Rename/Utils.hs#L355>

The project is a bit too big for my machine to take, so HLS is not helping me with finding where the computation of unused bindings (specifically functions) is done. I would like some help with finding where ghc does this computation, and maybe some help with the naming conventions of the code.

Thanks in advance.
