code-checker

What problem does it solve?

It helps you detect maintainability risks in C/C++ projects by identifying oversized files and functions and by exposing circular dependencies between directory modules that can slow builds and increase refactoring cost.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Large file analysis: Flags translation units and headers that exceed configurable effective-line thresholds, making them hard to navigate and review.
• Large function analysis: Finds functions whose effective line counts exceed thresholds, highlighting candidates for decomposition and simplification.
• Circular dependency detection: Parses GN build metadata and local includes to detect dependency cycles between directory-based modules, then generates a markdown report.
• Use case: When onboarding or before a refactor, scan a module’s directory to quickly pinpoint the largest maintainability hotspots and the architectural cycles to fix first.

Quick Start

Run the C/C++ code checker on your target directory or file to produce a markdown report of large files/functions and any detected circular dependencies.
