Code

#![deny(dead_code)]

struct T;
struct UnusedT1;
struct UnusedT2;

pub trait PubTrait {
    fn foo(&self) -> Self;
}

impl PubTrait for T {
    fn foo(&self) -> Self { T }
}

impl PubTrait for UnusedT1 {
    fn foo(&self) -> Self { UnusedT1 }
}


trait PriTrait {
    fn foo(&self) -> Self;
}

impl PriTrait for T {
    fn foo(&self) -> Self { T }
}

impl PriTrait for UnusedT2 {
    fn foo(&self) -> Self { UnusedT2 }
}

fn main() {
    let t = T;
    let _t = <T as PubTrait>::foo(&t);
    let _t = <T as PriTrait>::foo(&t);
}

Current output

error: struct `UnusedT1` is never constructed
 --> src/main.rs:4:8
  |
4 | struct UnusedT1;
  |        ^^^^^^^^
  |
note: the lint level is defined here
 --> src/main.rs:1:9
  |
1 | #![deny(dead_code)]
  |         ^^^^^^^^^

error: could not compile `playground` (bin "playground") due to 1 previous error

Desired output

error: struct `UnusedT1` is never constructed
 --> src/main.rs:4:8
  |
4 | struct UnusedT1;
  |        ^^^^^^^^
  |
note: the lint level is defined here
 --> src/main.rs:1:9
  |
1 | #![deny(dead_code)]
  |         ^^^^^^^^^

error: struct `UnusedT2` is never constructed
 --> src/main.rs:5:8
  |
5 | struct UnusedT2;
  |        ^^^^^^^^

error: could not compile `playground` (bin "playground") due to 2 previous errors

Maybe you can get inspiration from #119552, especially if you end up having to fix previously undetected errors in multiple places in rustc.

Thanks for your suggestion, but I think this just needs to extend #121752 ;)
