SYNOPSIS
gnatmetric [options] {filename | -files filename} [gcc_switches]DESCRIPTION
gnatmetric takes a set of compilable Ada sources as input, computes for them various programming metrics and generates the output. Argument Ada sources may be provided as command line arguments, or you can place the names of the Ada sources to compute the metrics for into a textual file and to provide the name of this file as the parameter of -files option.OPTIONS
- -v
- verbose mode
- -q
- quiet mode
- -dv
- generate debug output
- -dd
- generate string to be used as input for progress indicator
- -nocc
- do not compute the McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity
- -noec
- do not compute the Essential Complexity
- -nonl
- do not compute maximal loop nesting level
- -ne
- do not consider exit statements as gotos when computing Essential Complexity
- -nolocal
- do not compute detailed metrics for local program units
Line metrics
When not specified explicitly, all line metrics are set on, otherwise only specified metrics are computed:- -la
- the number of all lines
- -lcode
- the number of code lines
- -lcomm
- the number of comment lines
- -leol
- the number of code lines also containing comments
- -lb
- the number of blank lines
Element metrics
When not specified explicitly, all element metrics are set on, otherwise only specified metrics are computed:- -ed
- the total number of declarations
- -es
- the total number of statements
- -eps
- the number of public subprograms in a compilation unit
- -eas
- the number of all the subprograms in a compilation unit
- -ept
- the number of public types in a compilation unit
- -eat
- the number of all the types in a compilation unit
- -enu
- the maximal program unit nesting level
- -ec
- the maximal construct nesting level
Output file control
- -d dirname
- put files with detailed metrics into dirname
- -x
- generate the XML output
- -nt
- do not generate the output in text form, implies '-x'
- -o file-suffix
- the suffix for the file to put the detailed metrics for a source file (file-suffix should begin with a dot)
- -og filename
- the name of the file to put the global metrics info into (if not set, this info is sent to Stdout)
- -ox filename
- the name of the file to put the XML output into, implies '-x'
- -sfn
- use short source file name in the output
Input files
- filename
- the name of the Ada source file for which metrics should be computed. Wildcards are allowed.
- -files filename
- the name of the text file containing a list of Ada source files for which metrics should be computed.
GCC switches
- gcc_switches
- Passed to gnatgcc as "-cargs gcc_switches".
