ccm

ccm is a tool that analyzes c/c++ and c# code and reports back on Cyclomatic Complexity, a metric introduced by Thomas McCabe back in the mid 70's.

This metric states the number of independent linear paths through a unit of code and is useful to determine how complex the unit of code is (for this particular tool, a unit is a function or a method).

Complex code is often hard to maintain and extend, so keeping an eye on cyclomatic complexity can pay off.

Highlights

• Analyzes both c, c++ and c# code
• Works on both managed and unmanaged code
• Command line version can output into xml, allowing easy integration with your build pipelines and Continuous Integration software
• Visual Studio 2008/2010 integration
• Command line version runs under mono on both Linux and Mac OS X

Visual Studio Integration

ccm integrates with Vistual Studio 2008 and 2010. A new tool window, Cyclomatic Complexity, can be opened from the Tools menu.
