CppDepend Benefits by CoderGears

What is CppDepend? CppDepend is a static analyzer based on Clang, that simplifies managing complex C/C++ code base.Clang With CppDepend, software quality can be: Measured using Code Metrics, Visualized using Graphs and Treemaps, Enforced using standard and custom Rules. High QualityBad Quality +=

CQLinq – Code Query Language CppDepend has innovative code query language named CQLinq, which is used to create and customize easily your own code rules. From m in Application.Methods where m.NbLinesOfCode > 30 select m From n in Namespaces n.Level = null select n From t in Types where t.IsClass select t Writing CQLinq queries and constraints is straightforward because CppDepend provides a CQLinq editor which supports: Code completion / intellisense, Live compile error description, Integrated tooltip documentation.

Interactive Guis Exploration and Architecture Compliance categories are represented best via interactive graphs: Dependency Graph, Dependency Matrix, Metrics View, Abstracness vs Instability.

Dependency graph The CppDepend dependency graph panel displays the graph of dependencies between projects.

Dependency Structure Matrix The DSM (Dependency Structure Matrix) is a compact way to represent and navigate across dependencies between components.

Metrics View In the Metric View, the code base is represented through a Treemap. Treemapping is a method for displaying tree- structured data by using nested rectangles.

Abstracness vs. Instability In any software system particularly large ones, balance is critical. In this case, a system should balance abstractness with stability in order to be "good”.

More than 80 Code Metrics CppDepend comes with more than 80 code metrics some of them are related to: Your code organization (the number of classes, the number of methods declared in a class...), Code quality (complexity, percentage of comments, number of parameters, cohesion of classes, stability of Projects...), The structure of code (which types are the most used, depth of inheritance...)

Plugins CppDepend support out of the box the XML files from CppCheck and CPD, however you can integrate another analysis tool by providing to CppDepend an XML file with this following format:

Builds comparison In software development, products are constantly evolving. Hence, developers and architects must pay attention to modifications in code bases. Modern source code repositories handle incremental development. CppDepend can tell you what has been changed between 2 builds but it does more than simple text comparison. It can distinguish between: Comment change, Code change, what has been added/removed what has just been modified.

Customizable reports CppDepend can analyze source code and C/C++ Projects through CppDepend Console. Each time it analyzes a code base, CppDepend yields a report that can inform you about the status of your development. You can customize sections shown in the report and you can even provide your own XSL sheet for full customization. You can also build your own set of CQLinq constraints that will be checked at each analysis. Sample Report made by CppDepend.

Rich Code Search facilities Contrary to other tools, CppDepend Code Search supports numerous criterias including Searching by: Name, Size, Complexity, Coupling, Popularity, Coverage, Visibility, Mutability, Purity, Change and Coverage of Changes.

CppDepend features Analysis of Application Projects, Code Source and Third-Party Projects, Facilities to Create and Customize CppDepend Project, Dashboard reflecting the status of the code base, Automatic HTML Report Production through CppDepend console, Possible Integration into the Build Process, Warnings about the Health of the Build Process, Plugins Integration (CppCheck, CPD), Clang diagnostics, Interactive UI: Dependency Graph, Dependency Matrix, Metrics Visualization, Build Comparison / Code Diff Edition of custom CQLinq Queries and Rules Support for Trend charts and Trend metrics
