Talk:Dead code
Vis-a-vis standard and published definitions of dead code, redundant code, and unreachable code,[1][2] I have updated and changed the articles for dead code, redundant code, and unreachable code. --Dorchard (talk) 22:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

This page is noted as a stub, but I'm not sure there is really anything more to be said than is already here.
Maybe an example or something. Also, please sign your posts. Wouter Lievens 19:00, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
Merge?
Is dead code the same thing as unreachable code? Should there be a merge? Deco 18:43, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, the terms seem to be equivalent. I'll propose a merge. Ibroadfo 16:08, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
- Merge done. Article has been redirected to unreachable code. Jamie 22:35, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
Removal
I removed this sentence:
... indeed, it is by definition performing no function it is hard to prove a negative
Perhaps it can be reworded? --216.232.210.238 00:39, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
