NAME

       Perl::Critic::Utils::McCabe - Functions that calculate the McCabe score of source code.

DESCRIPTION

       Provides approximations of McCabe scores.  The McCabe score of a set of code describes the number of
       possible paths through it.  The functions here approximate the McCabe score by summing the number of
       conditional statements and operators within a set of code.  See
       <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity> for some discussion about the McCabe number and
       other complexity metrics.

INTERFACE SUPPORT

       This is considered to be a public module.  Any changes to its interface will go through a deprecation
       cycle.

IMPORTABLE SUBS

       "calculate_mccabe_of_sub( $sub )"
           Calculates an approximation of the McCabe number of the code in a PPI::Statement::Sub.

       "calculate_mccabe_of_main( $doc )"
           Calculates an approximation of the McCabe number of all the code in a PPI::Statement::Document that
           is not contained in a subroutine.
