Quite a while ago, the Dependometer code analysis tool has been extended on customer request to support other object oriented programming languages including C++, but these portings/extensions have never been published. After some major restructuring of the Dependometer code base and the introduction of a new build process based on Maven, it is now possible to handover the further evolution of the complete Dependometer toolset to the Open Source community.
Therefore as a first step we proudly announce the general availability of the Dependometer for C++ module including the following features:
- Same core with the popular Dependometer for Java
- Pure Java
- C++ source file inspection with C/C++ parser of the Eclipse CDT project
- Platform independent
- Identical metrics calculation with its Java counterpart
- Support for logical structuring of C++ code using namespaces as well as physical structuring on directory base or even any combination of both
- ...
