For your use case, can you use [ProfileSymbolList](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/32ffc9fdc2cd422c88c926b862adb3de726e3888/llvm/include/llvm/ProfileData/SampleProf.h#L1509-L1512) to identify very cold functions (executed but unsampled) or are you indeed looking for functions that are never executed?

Will this be used to guide developers with diagnostics or more aggressive compiler driven optimizations?
