For each indirect call site, cadvise emits the list of possible call targets.
• Cyclomatic Complexity Cyclomatic complexity metric, developed by Thomas McCabe in
1976 ,measures the number of linearly-independent paths through a program module. It is
an indicator for understandability and testability of a module. A lower value indicates more
understandable and testable code. The +metrics option emits cyclomatic complexity by
default.
• Indirect Call Targets This refers to the list of functions that can be called at an indirect call
site. Calculation of this metric leads to an increase in analysis time and so the +metrics
option does not emit Indirect Call Targets by default. You need to specify ict as a suboption
to the +metrics option for emission of indirect call targets. This causes emission of Indirect
Call Targets in addition to all other default metrics.
The following example shows the code complexity metrics.
