[Doxygen-projects] DeepEnds

[Zebedee M. <ze...@cy...>]

Hello

Just uploaded version 2.0 of my dependency analysis tool, DeepEnds, accessible
from Visual Studio Gallery at
https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/4c9c5d41-46d2-409d-8c83-9d6d4d9e86bc?redir=0
Note that the upload contains a command line tool for those Windows users who
want to try it without installing the extension into Visual Studio 2015. To do
so just uncompress the VSIX file - run DeepEnds.Console.exe without arguments
for help.

Version 2.0 reads Doxygen XML output and creates reports as Doxygen source
comment (hopefully using the correct form for the language). A quick
introduction to version 1.x can be had from
http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/zebmason/DeepEnds/blob/master/Doc/userguide.html

There are also the version 1.0 features of generating a HTML report directly and
a DGML file for viewing in Visual Studio. The latter feature appears similar to
Code Maps in Visual Studio Enterprise, I cannot confirm as I've never used that
edition due to cost. The reporting is similar to that produced by Microsoft
Visual Studio Code Metrics Powertool but more comprehensive.

The sharp eyed will notice that the HTML tables processed by Doxygen have the
last element of the headers incorrectly formatted. There are probably a number
of other bugs waiting to be squashed - the source code is available from GitHub.

Yours

Zeb
