Description crimcat 2008-04-29 12:03:10 UTC

I need simple code metrics functionality which I think is useful in support and refactoring old projects (especially,
written by someone else).

I'd suggest to implement the following:
1) total lines of code in the source file (only code);
2) total lines of code in sense of number of operators (it may be useful when several operators are placed in the same
line, separated with ';');
3) total lines of comments in the given source file (in line comments should be counted as well);
4) code density for any given source code file (lines of code and lines of comments ratio);
5) source code complexity (any method, for example, number of nested constructions - if, switch, for, while, do - in the
function body).

Well known metrics for code complexity.
Simple:
- LOC lines of code
- SLOC semicolon lines of code
- CR comments ratio
Halstead complexity metric:
- Program length
- Program vocabulary
- Volume
- Difficulty
- Effort
McCabe complexity:
- Cyclomatic Complexity
