These tools were produced by Roger Binns for a fourth year project as part of
a computer science degree, for the Computer Science department, Brunel
University, Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH, United Kingdom.
This software is provided in good faith, having been developed by Brunel
University students as part of their normal course work. It should not be
assumed that Brunel has any rights of ownership, and the University cannot
accept any liability for its subsequent use. It is a condition of any such
use that the user idemnifies the University against any claim (including
third party claims) arising therefrom.
This software is provided 'as is'. If you have any doubts that could lead
to legal matters, then don't use it.
To compile:
IN THE REAL WORLD
make
AT BRUNEL
(read the top of the file 'Makefile.brunel')
use gcc-2.3.3
use studentsoft
make -f Makefile.brunel
For instructions on use, and other info:
nroff -man cyclo.1 | more

Christopher Lott made the package slightly more portable sometime in 1994
by cleaning up the Makefile and by adding .h/.c files for the strerror
function.

Updated June 1996 by Bob Statsinger. These changes are
copyright (c) 1996 1996 B.S. Software
Changes made by Bob Statsinger <rstats@interbase.borland.com>:
- In addition to C++ style function declarations
(e.g. cname::foo()), ANSI or K&R style declarations
are now properly handled.
- if else if....else if..... else is properly handled
- cyclo -c now prints the total number of excutable C statements
in the source, along with the mccabe numbers so you can kinda get
a complexity ratio as mccabe number/# statements
- I've disabled some of the parser failure checking - IMHO
what's important here is the cyclomatic number, not syntax
correctness. YMMV.
- the file 'mccabe.example' is a sample shell script to run mcstrip
and cyclo. It will need to be tailored for your site.
- test-input.c is an example test file.
------
Updated further in August 1996 by Christopher Lott to fix some
small glitches in the code that g++ picked up. If my fixes
cause further problems on other compilers, please let me know.
Beware the defs for getopt in main.C. You can turn them off by
editing the Makefile (search for NEEDGETOPTDEFS).
