Code Metrics

Overview

Visual Sidekick provides a code metrics report showing the number of symbols, files, lines of code, and other information for the Solution and the Unmanaged Libraries.

Code Metrics Report

The report is generated from the VSK/ View/ Solution Statistics menu.

Statistics are presented for three Views: all Solution/Workspace symbols, all Library symbols and Total symbols (Solution + Library together).

For each group, the following information is presented:

Metric Description

Files Number of files in the view.

Lines of code Number of lines of code (both including and excluding comments and whitespace)

% code Lines of actual code as a percentage of total lines of source (where source includes whitespace and comments)

Symbol Counts Number of symbols in total, including numbers for each type of symbol (class, struct, function, macro, etc).
