Are there any good code measuring tools available?
I found code measure pretty useful and interesting, but I don’t think I can pay $1K/year for just using the measuring tool.
I imagine there might be a tool that is/can
- open source software
- language independent
- OS independent
- measure the metrics from different categories : LOC, LOC without blank lines, Number of functions …
For basic line-count metrics like the ones you describe, try cloc.
My 2c-worth: code metrics are generally worse than useless. The only value I’ve ever gotten out of them is to measure the efficiency of one language against another.
