[p4] Find old dead code?

[steve@vance.com]

Sync a workspace to your deadline date, grep in that source base, then sync
or annotate from that revision forward to see if the code is still there?

Just a SWAG at a recipe. Very scriptable, although the latter part could
require some ingenuity.

Subject: [p4] Find old dead code?


I want to clean out some old dead code, i.e. blocks which are  
surrounded by

#if 0
[...]
#endif

Finding all the #if 0 lines is easy with grep.  What's a bit more  
complicated is finding all the *old* ones.  Say, older than a year  
(i.e. I'll put up with such sillyness, as long as it's recent; humor  
me on that for the moment).  Perforce certainly has the information  
needed to perform that query, but is there any reasonable way to  
script doing this?

if "p4 annotate" could tag lines with dates instead of change or  
version numbers, that would get me most of the way there, but it  
doesn't seem to be able to do that.
