 I'm interested in reading articles which describe what the complexity metric
 for Ada is; what constructs are used and supported. the weight each has and
 how the construct participates in control flow graph formation. I am also
 interested in any freeware, shareware, commercialware which supports the return 
 of the complexity metric of a module along with the control-flow graph used to 
 form the complexity metric.
 
 The object of this excercise is to provide a basis for developing a testing
 methodology using Structured Testing (NBS 500-99 & NIST 500-235). In order
 to use the methodology correctly, the control-flow graph used to calculate
 the Cyclomatic Complexity of a subject module is needed. Unfortunately, 
 NBS 500-99 addresses topics associated with Fortran and NIST 500-235 does
 not provide a theoretical or pragmatic basis for developing software.
 There are enough linguistic (semantic and syntactic) differences between 
 Fortran and Ada as to make the transition from NBS 500-99 to Ada complex.
