PDB, see Using the Program Database PDBSee the following makefile content Integrating Cadvise with the makefiles and build processGenerating code complexity metrics Enabling different categories of diagnostic messagesExample 2 Sample wrapper script Example 3 Generating code complexity metrics Objfile.metricsGenerating code complexity metrics Example 4 Code complexity metrics $ cat
