Find usage of indexed default property

[chkaufmann 17]

In my interface I have the following property:

 

  IBSEntityProvider = interface
    function GetItems(AItemId: Integer): IBSEntity;
    property Items[AItemId: Integer]: IBSEntity read GetItems; default;
  end;

Now I need to know, where this is used in my application. For a method I can use grep or, if the method has a common name, I put a "deprecated" in the method declaration and use the list of warnings. In this case here, it doesn't work. But maybe somebody has another trick for this problem.

You could rename or comment out that property and let the compiler find all the errors.

This is a solution, but I have too many places where I use the property. So this is not an option in this case.

If checking at runtime is acceptable, you can add stack trace output to GetItems

There are probably tools for that. (Pascal Analyzer comes to mind, but I am not sure whether it does what you want. They have a free version, so you can check.)

 

This sounds like it might be what you want:

Thanks, good idea. I forgot that one.
