<p><span class="normalImportance">Metrix++</span> is the
platform to collect and analyse code metrics.</p>
<ul>
<li>It has got plugin based architecture, so it is easy to
add support for new languages and/or define new metrics
and/or create new pre- and post-processing tools.</li>
<li>Every metric has got 'turn-on' and other configuration
options.</li>
<li>There is no predefined thresholds for metrics or rules.
You can choose and configure any limit you want.</li>
<li>It scales well to big code bases. For example initial
parsing of about 10000 files takes 2-3 minutes on average
PC, and ONLY 10-20 seconds for iterative re-run. Reporting
of summary result and exceeded limits is less than 1 - 10
seconds.</li>
<li>It can compare results for 2 code snapshots (collections)
and differentiate added regions (classes, functions, etc.),
modified regions and unchanged regions.</li>
<li>As a result, easy deployment is guaranteed into legacy
software, helping you to deal with legacy code effiently -
either enforce 'leave it not worse than it was before' rule
or motivate re-factoring.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Standard Plugins</h4>
<p>The distributive includes a set of standard plugins:</p>
<ul>
<li><h4>Code parsers</h4>
<ul>
<li><span class="normalImportance">C/C++</span> parser
recognises definition of namespaces, definition of
classes/structs (including enclosed in functions) and
definition of functions/operators </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h4>Metrics</h4>
<ul>
<li><span class="normalImportance">cyclomatic
complexity</span> (by McCabe) per function <span
class="lowImportance">[supports C/C++
language]</span></li>
<li><span class="normalImportance">mismatched
brackets</span> '{}'' per file <span
class="lowImportance">[supports C/C++
language]</span></li>
<li><span class="normalImportance">processing time</span>
per file <span class="lowImportance">[supports any
file]</span></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><h4>Analysis tools</h4>
<ul>
<li><span class="normalImportance">export.py</span> -
exporter to xml, python or plain text of detailed
information per file and/or aggregated information per
file or directory <span
class="lowImportance">[aggregated data includes <span
class="normalImportance">sum</span>, <span
class="normalImportance">maximum</span>, <span
class="normalImportance">minimum</span>, <span
class="normalImportance">average</span> within a subset
of selected files or directories]</span></li>
<li><span class="normalImportance">limit.py</span> - a
tool to report regions exceeding speified thresholds,
which are configurable (output is plain text with
metadata compatible with gcc compiler warning
messages)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
