Abstract:
In this work we present a new method called compiler wrapping for extracting
information from the source code of large software systems written in the C++
language. This new method can be used without having to modify the analyzed
source code in any way. With the extracted information we can calculate different
object oriented metrics and characterize the analyzed system. For source code
analysis and metrics calculation we employed the Columbus reverse engineering
framework. To demonstrate the operability of our new approach we tested it on
the open source internet suite Mozilla and found it very effective in obtaining the
desired metrics.
