Unless they depend on the gen param

E.g. dead code could be due to
   if sizeof(G_PARAM) = 1 then

of course then such dead code may be "by design"

Depends.

In many cases the generic is from a unit outside the current package => 
the IDE could see that and know that unit wasn't just compiled. 
(assuming it can detect all trickeries with PATH settings in all places, 
and "uses" with a "in file" ....

If the generic is from the same package => well then it got compiled anyway
