Hello,

  Before the holidays Art Scwartz queried this newsgroup re: Ada metric 
  tools.  Unfortunately, his posting expired from my news system while I 
  was off on holiday, so I'm sending this reply as a post rather than a 
  followup....

 Our QualGen tool computes a number of metrics for Ada and C. Complexity is 
 one of them (of over 200).   The control graph isn't available, but counts of
 the various components of  it are (e.g.#  if statements, when statements, 
 etc....).

 We haven't considered the option of outputing the control graph as well. It
 would be quite simple to do (as we do construct it to compute  various
 metrics).
