The identifier-usage-analyzer was not counting identifier uses recorded in the 'disappeared-use syntax property, which macros use to mark identifiers referenced during expansion but not appearing in the expanded code.

Changes

  • Added disappeared-use-property-identifiers function: Extracts identifiers from the 'disappeared-use property (single identifier or list), mirroring the existing origin-property-identifiers logic
  • Integrated into usage-site-identifiers: Now collects uses from three sources: origin properties, disappeared-use properties, and expanded syntax tree
  • Added test case: Demonstrates working implementation with a custom macro that sets 'disappeared-use

Example

(define-syntax (use-x stx)
  (syntax-case stx ()
    [(_ body)
     (syntax-property #'body 'disappeared-use (list #'x))]))

(use-x (void))  ; x now correctly counted as used

Note

The original issue's struct-copy test case doesn't work because Racket 8.18's struct-copy doesn't set the 'disappeared-use property. The implementation is correct and will work when macros properly set this property.

<issue_title>Identifier usage analyzer should count disappeared uses</issue_title>
<issue_description>The implementation of identifier-usage-analyzer currently doesn't see disappeared uses, as recorded by macros in the 'disappeared-use syntax property. This test should pass:

#lang resyntax/test
header: - #lang racket/base

analysis-test: "struct-copy disappeared use counted"
----------------------------------------
(struct point (x y z))
(define (f pt)
  (struct-copy point pt [y 100]))
----------------------------------------
@within - (struct point (x y z))
@inspect - point
@property usage-count
@assert 1
```</issue_description>
