The place I work runs a heterogeneous erlang cluster (cluster-as-service-mesh), I assume the best way to deal with this is to mark off that module, or the specific cluster exports, to be ignored.

I imagine this tool also has a hard time identifying function invocations via erlang:apply


How do you handle code that you want to keep in place commented out, because it might be needed later for debugging/etc?


I don't think you're forced to act on anything that it finds; it just points you at things that might be removable cruft.
