DrDepth: Open-Source Code Complexity Analyzer

Analyze code depth complexity with DrDepth, an open-source program that identifies overly complex functions and methods to improve code quality.

What is DrDepth?

DrDepth is an open source static analysis tool used to analyze the depth complexity and control flow structure of code. It scans codebases to detect overly complex functions and methods that may be difficult to understand, test, and maintain.

One of the key features of DrDepth is detecting code with deep nested control flow structures and high cyclomatic complexity numbers. This can often indicate code that is too complex and could benefit from refactoring into smaller, more manageable units with improved cohesion.

By visualizing complexity hotspots and depth flow, DrDepth makes it easier for developers to identify parts of the code that have become excessively complex over time. The graphical output allows focusing refactoring efforts on specific functions instead of scanning through whole codebases manually.

In addition to depth analysis, DrDepth also detects unused parameters and unreached code to further clean up cruft. By helping to progressively improve code quality and minimize complexity, DrDepth facilitates easier testing, debugging, and long-term maintenance of software systems.
