Code metrics
| |||
| Home > Compiler Coding Practices > Code metrics | |||
Code metrics provide a means of objectively evaluating code quality. The compiler and linker provide several facilities for generating simple code metrics and improving code quality. In particular, you can:
measure code and data sizes
generate dynamic callgraphs
measure stack use.
