Speaker: Philip Morant When: 9th July, 7pm. Outhouse pub. Title: McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity equation, the surprising implications for code reuse, and the road ahead for (all) computer languages. Abstract: McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity equation is introduced and the necessary background in Control Flow Graphs presented. Consideration of the equation shows that code reuse increases cyclomatic complexity. 'Critical Nodes' are defined and discussed. A refactoring technique for reducing cyclomatic complexity without loss of reuse is shown. Some common assumptions about code reuse are examined. Possibilities for adapting computer languages are discussed. |
