Jerry, It is always possible that I misunderstand the McCabe score which may come from the fact that so many build environments compute it along with producing the binary, i.e., independent of human eyeballs. If complexity scoring requires human eyeballs or the presence of the designer's flow charts, then will we ever get meaningful numbers (sans artificial intelilgence) for code we did not write ourselves? [...yes, this parallels the many arguments about how can you trust crypto code you didn't write, either...]
If McCabe scoring is your area, do you agree with the rule that a McCabe score of <10 is essential -- an argument that I am quoting from some NASA spec I read a while ago and can dig up again if that turns out to be necessary. Always ready for re-education, but wary of the best being the enemy of the good, --dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
