Besides the extra class bytecode, is there a strong reason for this? The issue ticket pops up out of the blue without much explanation. There are so many possible paths that I think this will be another feature that gets you a quick 80% of the way and then will have issue tickets forever with uncovered scenarios. Would it be easier to use a bytecode path analyzer? Something that has been through research and proving phases? I think ASM does some of this analysis already but does not provide any API to ask if a path is dead -- but it does know internally using path analysis. It replaces dead code with NOP instructions. Maybe just a NOP pruning is in order. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
