Hi Guys,
I was wondering how much interest in static analysis exists in
this community .
DMD already has rudimentary support for these kinds of things.
cyclic complexity
NPath complexity
Halstead complexity
3 nice fields of static analysis.
I'm currently working on Halstead
(https://github.com/BBasile/Coedit/blob/master/dastworx/src/halstead.d)
The Halstead metric (1977) is often considered as ratio of the
number of line code, while it's actually not at all. The
Halstead is based on the operations and the operations
arguments. You can have small functions using a lot of operands
that will be bug prone. You can have huge functions with very
few operands used and that are not bug prone. The Halstead
metric can detect them. It can tell you: "take care of this
function".

I think you mixed up Pow and Xor.
You will probably want to change from a AA to a normal array and
just assign a numeric index to each expression you care about :)
