Halstead defined all sorts of inter-related metrics.
A tool called Logiscope from a company called VeriLog
(no connection with the HDL of the same name)
could parse Ada and give all those metrics and those
of McCabe and a couple of other folks.

I think it was Halstead because I read his book and not
the others (but might have been one of the other guys
quoted in the Logiscope docs) who "showed" mathematically
that all the metrics could boil down to making accurate
estimates for a module SOLELY BY THE PARAMETER PROFILE. 

I find that hard to believe!
