static code smell detector

Console application, detects Long Method, Long Parameter List, and structurally Duplicated Code in a .cpp file. Created for Software Refactoring and Design course at Seattle University.

Description

Given a valid .cpp file, the detector will can run the following code smell detection methods on any or all methods provided.

1. Long Method Threshold metric = more than 15 lines of code. Excludes blank lines.
2. Long Parameter List
   • Threshold metric = greater than 3 parameters.
3. Duplicated Code (structural only)
   • Threshold metric = Hamming index greater than 0.75.

Dependencies

• C++ 17+ , CMake 17, g++ 10.2.0
