For analysis purposes we separate files in scope into several categories: main, test, generated, deployment and build, and other.
The main category contains all manually created source code files that are being used in the production.
Files in the main category are used as input for other analyses: logical decomposition, concerns, duplication, file size, unit size, and conditional complexity.
Test source code files are used only for testing of the product. These files are normally not deployed to production.
Build and deployment source code files are used to configure or support build and deployment process.
Generated source code files are automatically generated files that have not been manually changed after generation.
While a source code folder may contain a number of files, we are primarily interested in the source code files that are being written and maintained by developers.
Files containing binaries, documentation, or third-party libraries, for instance, are excluded from analysis. The exception are third-party libraries that have been changed by developers.
Main Code
All manually created or maintained source code that defines logic of the product that is run in a production environment.
The following criteria are used to filter files:
files with paths like ".*".
109 files match defined criteria (10,864 lines of code, 100.0% vs. main code):
86 *.c files (10,154 lines of code)
23 *.h files (710 lines of code)
" *.c" is biggest, containing 93.46% of code.
" *.h" is smallest, containing 6.54% of code.
Test Code
Used only for testing of the product. Normally not deployed in a production environment.
The following criteria are used to filter files:
files with paths like ".*/tests/.*".
79 files match defined criteria (1,480,179 lines of code, 13624.6% vs. main code). All matches are in *.txt files.
Other Code
The following criteria are used to filter files:
files with paths like ".*[.]txt".
files with paths like ".*[.]md".
97 files match defined criteria (1,483,401 lines of code, 13654.3% vs. main code):
83 *.txt files (1,482,619 lines of code)
14 *.md files (782 lines of code)
" *.txt" is biggest, containing 99.95% of code.
" *.md" is smallest, containing 0.05% of code.
Analyzers
Info about analyzers used for source code examinations.
*.c files are analyzed with CStyleAnalyzer:
All basic standard analyses supported (source code overview, duplication, file size, concerns, findings, metrics, controls)
Advanced code cleaning (empty lines and comments removed for LOC calculations, additional cleaning for duplication calculations)
Unit size analysis
Conditional complexity analysis
No dependency analysis
*.h files are analyzed with CppAnalyzer:
All basic standard analyses supported (source code overview, duplication, file size, concerns, findings, metrics, controls)
Advanced code cleaning (empty lines and comments removed for LOC calculations, additional cleaning for duplication calculations)
