Jim Rogers says
"I assume this means that you will not be using any tagged types. Run-time
dispatching makes Cyclomatic Complexity calculations very difficult. There
is no static analysis which can tell which subprogram will be called via
dynamic dispatching.
"
I don't think this can possibly be true. Dynamic dispatching is semantically
equiavlent to a series of calls protected by conditoinals, and it would seem
that any methodology which could not handle:
if a then call-b
elsif b then call-c
...
is too limited to be useful.
