Software metrics #7974
Description
Type: Feature Request
I searched for a feature request like this, but without any success. Then I started a discussion here. There came up a proposal to request this as a feature.
I would like to propose software metrics. Jim Wanner, the author of one of my favorite tools has ended his career as a software developer. With SourceMonitor, I was able to view various software metrics about source code. This is a great support to write better code. It is also a great help for restructuring and improving code. Unfortunately, there will be no further development for this tool.
So I had the idea that this could be a topic for the C++ extension.
A few metrics are easily implemented: The number of lines in the file, the number of lines of code, the number of comment lines, ... It gets more elaborate with the McCabe metric (cyclomatic complexity) or the branch depth. It is even more complex if this is to be done not only for a single file, but for a workspace. Then there are the average values and a maximum in addition to the previous values.
