Are you *perfectly* sure about this??
This is /not/ something you want to break: Any function you happen to
miss (because it happens to be stored in a void* pointer somewhere, or
whatever, and you happen to be a bit too tired that night) /will/ screw
up your running program in a beautifully obscure fashion. Welcome,
Heisenbug!
Misusing the compiler for identifying stuff affected by code refactoring
is a risky business.
(Other question is, how long does it take to compile? And how many
layers of functions do you have that you'll need to repair? Let alone
that some part involved may be a library you don't have source code
access to.)
