[Q] Complexity Analyzer for Ada (gnat)?

[Q] Complexity Analyzer for Ada (gnat)?

[Michael D Lewis]

  Does anyone know of a program that will give me the Essential and
Cyclomatic complexities of modules in Ada 95 (gnat) source files?  I've
found a few for C, and even fewer for Ada 83.  I'd rather not use some 
expensive platform that will require a lot of setup just to get a few
numbers.

Thanks in advance,

Well, you can go to McCabe's own company. They have a product, McCabe QA (
http://www.mccabe.com/?file=./prod/qa/data.html ), that claims to be able to
gather that info for Ada (95). It may be more expensive than you want though,
if I read your last sentence correctly.

Have you looked at AdaTEST95 from IPL? This may be expensive for you,
but it gives all sorts of information including McCabe and Halstead
measures.

Check out http://www.iplbath.com/nof_p14.htm. There's a demo download
there.

Also LDRA do TestBed which provides similar measures, but It's not
clear from their web site whether Ada 95 is catered for. Worth a look
though at http://www.ldra.co.uk/1999/core-info/overview.htm.

Hope this helps.
