Technology scope: ABAP, C#, Go, Groovy, Java, Kotlin, Scala, Swift. Note that for Java and Kotlin, this code insight also applies for classes.CAST Recommendations
Check if the object is referenced. If not then remove it.How we detect
This Code Insight counts one occurrence each time a function, a method or a class is found and that it doesn't contain any statement.About CAST and Highlight’s Code Insights
