What tools do you use to let you know that methods in your codebase are getting too long?
- by blueberryfields
Most people seem to agree that long methods are a code smell - a sign something may not be quite right with the code contained in them.
Which tools do you use to detect this smell?
clarified title based on responses. also, remember:
Your code will live over time, and be edited by multiple programmers
Emergency fixes and changes will come in, late at night, when the writer is too tired to pay attention to smells
Different programmers use different tools. A contractor with 4 screens set at maximum resolution will have a different idea of acceptable method size
In this context, I'm looking for tools and methods which go beyond looking at the size of a method when it's written, or when it's being edited.
