#
# Looks for unused entry points, to aid in discovering dead code that can be removed
#
# Usage: unused.pl listing unused.asm
#        
# where: listing is the normal listing from assembly
#        unused.asm is assembled with the -E nasm flag
#
# Annotations can be placed in the source to eliminate false positives:
#   a) if a label can be fallen into, place "; fall through to label" above the label
#   b) "; unused entrypoint ok" can be placed on the same line with the label
#   c) "; jump table entrypoint" can be placed on the same line with the label
