SourceMonitor Version 2.5

The freeware program SourceMonitor lets you see inside your software source code to find out how much code you have and to identify the relative complexity of your modules. For example, you can use SourceMonitor to identify the code that is most likely to contain defects and thus warrants formal review. SourceMonitor, written in C++, runs through your code at high speed, typically at least 10,000 lines of code per second. SourceMonitor provides the following:

• Collects metrics in a fast, single pass through source files.
• Measures metrics for source code written in C++, C, C#, VB.NET, Java, Delphi, Visual Basic (VB6) or HTML.
• Includes method and function level metrics for C++, C, C#, VB.NET, Java, and Delphi.
• Saves metrics in checkpoints for comparison during software development projects.
• Displays and prints metrics in tables and charts.
• Operates within a standard Windows GUI or inside your scripts using XML command files.
• Exports metrics to XML or CSV (comma-separated-value) files for further processing with other tools.

Like all previous versions, this version of SourceMonitor is free. The download is a fully functional installer contained in a single file, SMSetupV2510.exe. Please download the installation file and give it a try:

Enhancements Added in Version 2.5:

All Version 2.4 bugs through number 99 have been fixed in this new version. Thanks to all SourceMonitor users who reported bugs and made suggestions for enhancements. Both are much appreciated. This version uses the same project file format as versions 2.3 and 2.4.

The following enhancements were added to SourceMonitor version 2.5 (all are described in the new Help file) :

One new feature has been added: you can now specify the type of comment to ignore at the beginning and end of source files (normal comments, DOC comments, or both). This feature applies only to languages that have a DOC comments metric (currently VB.NET and C#).

A number of improvements have been made to the various language parsers, both to fix bugs and to handle new language features.

The command line script language has been extended to provide more control over the creation and export of checkpoints.

Enhancements Added in Version 2.4:

All Version 2.3 bugs through number 82 have been fixed in this new version. Thanks to all SourceMonitor users who reported bugs and made suggestions for enhancements. Both are much appreciated. This version uses the same project file format as version 2.3.

The following enhancements were added to SourceMonitor version 2.4 (all are described in the new Help file) :

C++:

• SourceMonitor now reports the number of functions in each file and checkpoint.

All languages:

• An option has been added to the Options | General dialog to allow parsing of source code files with UTF-8 encoding. These files will parse correctly as long as all characters in the file are represented by 8 bit codes.
• Added the option to change the file selection filters and refresh the file lists in the Create New Checkpoint dialog.
• Method metrics exports now include the source file line number for each method. For example, before an exported method element looked like this:
  <method name="MyClass::Init()">
  <complexity>3</complexity>
  <statements>17</statements>
  <maximum_depth>2</maximum_depth>
  <calls>15</calls>
  </method>
  This element now looks like this:
  <method name="MyClass::Init()" line="55">
  <complexity>3</complexity>
  <statements>17</statements>
  <maximum_depth>2</maximum_depth>
  <calls>15</calls>
  </method>
