[fpc-devel] virtual methods and smart-linking?

Just a question. Can smart linking detect and remove unused virtual methods?

I did a few tests and it seems it does not remove them. If I understand 
it correctly, then this could be because virtual methods are nver 
directly linked (they go via the VMT) so the linker would not know?

Best Regards
Martin
