NOTE: The imports are found by simple walking throught the AST and looking after `nkFromStmt` and `nkImportStmt` nodes.
The stdlib modules are identified by simple string comparisions.
This method is not entirely accurate, but it does give some indication of which modules are used and which are not.

  • wouldn't a compiler hook be easier/more accurate?
    It would be quite useful to add a compiler hook that gets called whenever foo imports bar; with that we can for eg generate import DAG and answer questions like:
    • why did baz get imported?
    • what is a import path from foo to bar ?

example of compile hook:

  • graph.onDefinition = writeUsage (see nimfind.nim)

  • are these direct imports?

  • if so, another metric would be reporting numbers after applying transitive closure; eg if module foo is imported by sequtils

  • ditto with include instead of import

@timotheecour

More accurate - yes. Easier - no idea. The current code is just ~30 lines of tree traversal code. This is not something I currently plan on developing further, hence why I haven't uploaded the code for finding the imports.
