[Groovy] Class UnusedPrivateMethodRule

class UnusedPrivateMethodRule
extends AbstractSharedAstVisitorRule

Rule that checks for private methods that are not referenced within the same class. Known limitations:

• Does not handle method reference through property access: getName() accessed as x.name
• Does not handle method invocations when method name is a GString (e.g. this."${methodName}"
• Does not handle invoking private method of another instance (i.e. other than 'this')
• Does not differentiate between multiple private methods with the same name but different parameters (i.e., overloaded)
• Does not check constructors
