Measure complexity of C source Complexity scans your C source code to help you: * Locate suspicious areas in unfamiliar code * Get an idea of how much effort may be required to understand that code * Get an idea of the effort required to test a code base * Provide a reminder to yourself. You may see what you've written as obvious, but others may not. It is useful to have a hint about what code may seem harder to understand by others, and then decide if some rework may be in order.
