//
// The LCOM metric measures the fact that most methods are using most fields.

//
// Only types with enough methods and fields are taken account to avoid bias.

// In *Object-Oriented Programming*, the **open/closed principle** states:
// *software entities (components, classes, methods, etc.) should be open 
// for extension, but closed for modification*. 
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open/closed_principle
//
// Hence a base class should be designed properly to make it easy to derive from,
// this is *extension*. But creating a new derived class, or modifying an
// existing one, shouldn't provoke any *modification* in the base class.
// And if a base class is using some derivative classes somehow, there
// are good chances that such *modification* will be needed.
//
// Extending the base class is not anymore a simple operation,

//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// Understand the need for using derivatives, 
// then imagine a new design, and then refactor.
//
// Typically an algorithm in the base class needs to access something 
// from derived classes. You can try to encapsulate this access behind 
// an abstract or a virtual method.
//
// If you see in the base class some conditions on *typeof(DerivedClass)*
// not only *urgent refactoring* is needed. Such condition can easily

//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// In *Object-Oriented Programming*, a well-known motto is
// **Favor Composition over Inheritance**.
//
// This is because *inheritance* comes with pitfalls.
// In general, the implementation of a derived class is very bound up with 
// the base class implementation. Also a base class exposes implementation
// details to its derived classes, that's why it's often said that 
// inheritance breaks encapsulation. 
//
// On the other hands, *Composition* favors binding with interfaces
// over binding with implementations. Hence, not only the encapsulation
// is preserved, but the design is clearer, because interfaces make it explicit
// and less coupled.
//
// Hence, to break a *long inheritance chain*, *Composition* is often
// a powerful way to enhance the design of the refactored underlying logic.

//<Description>
// The *class constructor* (also called *static constructor*, and named *cctor* in IL code)
// of a type, if any, is executed by the CLR at runtime, the first time the type is used.
// A *cctor* doesn't need to be explicitly declared in C# or VB.NET, to exist in compiled IL code.
// Having a static field inline initialization is enough to have 
// the *cctor* implicitly declared in the parent class or structure.
//
// If the *cctor* of a type *t1* is using the type *t2* and if the *cctor* of *t2* is using *t1*,
// some type initialization unexpected and hard-to-diagnose buggy behavior can occur.
// Such a cyclic chain of initialization is not necessarily limited to two types
// and can embrace *N* types in the general case.
// More information on types initialization cycles can be found here:
// http://codeblog.jonskeet.uk/2012/04/07/type-initializer-circular-dependencies/
//
// The present code rule enumerates types initialization cycles.
// Some *false positives* can appear if some lambda expressions are defined 
// in *cctors* or in methods called by *cctors*. In such situation, this rule
// considers these lambda expressions as executed at type initialization time, 
// while it is not necessarily the case.
//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// Types initialization cycles create confusion and unexpected behaviors.
// If several states hold by several classes must be initialized during the first
// access of any of those classes, a better design option is to create a dedicated 
// class whose responsibility is to initialize and hold all these states.

// Hence a class is candidate to be turned into a structure

// works with plenty of *short lived lightweight values*.
// In such situation, the advantage of using *struct* instead of

// • Its instances have a small *memory footprint* (at most 16 bytes)
//
// • Its instances have a memory footprint greater than zero
// (i.e the class has at least one instance field).

// • It implements no interfaces.

//<Description>
// This rule lists pair of namespace mutually dependent.
//
// The pair *{ first, second }* is formatted to show 
// **first namespace shouldn't use the second namespace**.
// The *first/second* order is inferred from the number of types 
// used by each other. The first namespace is using fewer types of 
// the second. In general this indicates that the first namespace  
// should be at a *lower-level* in the architecture than 
// the second.
//
// Following this rule is useful to avoid **namespaces dependency 
// cycles**. This will get the code architecture close to a 
// *layered architecture*, where *low-level* code is not allowed
// to use *high-level* code.
//
// In other words, abiding by this rule will help significantly
// getting rid of what is often called **spagetthi code:
// Entangled code that is not properly layered and structured**.
//
// More on this in our white books relative to partitioning code.
// http://www.ndepend.com/docs/white-books
//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// Refactor the code to make sure that *the first namespace doesn't 
// use the second namespace*. To get started, first explore the 
// coupling between two namespaces mutually dependent:
// 
//  1) from the *right-click menu* export the first namespace to 
// the vertical header of the dependency matrix.
//
//  2) export the second namespace to the horizontal header of 
// the dependency matrix.
//
//  3) double-click the black matrix cell (it is black because of
// mutual dependency).
//
//  4) in the matrix command bar, click the button: 
// *Remove empty Row(s) and Column(s)*.
//
// At this point, the dependency matrix shows types involved 
// into the coupling.
//
// Some refactoring that helps uncouple two namespaces
// mutually dependent include:
//
// • Moving one or several types from the *low-level* namespaces
// to the *high-level* one, or do the opposite.
//
// • Use *Inversion of Control (IoC)*: 
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_of_control
// This can consist in creating new interfaces in the
// *low-level* namespace, implemented by classes
// in the *high-level* namespace. This way *low-level* 
// code can consume *high-level* code through interfaces, 
// without using directly *high-level* implementations.
// Interfaces can be passed to *low-level* code through
// the *high-level* namespace code, or through even 
// higher-level code. In related documentations 
// you can see these interfaces named as *callbacks*, 
// and the overall pattern is also known as 
// *Dependency Injection (DI)*:
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_injection

//
// • **Abstractness**: If an assembly contains many abstract types

// it is considered as abstract.
//
// • **Stability**: An assembly is considered stable if its types

// This rule is executed only if some code coverage data is imported

//
// **Change Risk Analyzer and Predictor** (i.e. CRAP) is a code metric
// that helps in pinpointing overly complex and untested code.
// Is has been first defined here: 
// http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=215899
//
// The Formula is:  **CRAP(m) = CC(m)^2 * (1 – cov(m)/100)^3 + CC(m)**
//
// • where *CC(m)* is the *cyclomatic complexity* of the method *m*
//
// • and *cov(m)* is the *percentage coverage* by tests of the method *m*
//
// Matched methods cumulates two highly *error prone* code smells:
//
// • A complex method, difficult to develop and maintain.
//
// • Non 100% covered code, difficult to refactor without introducing any regression bug.
//
// The highest the CRAP score, the more painful to maintain and error prone is the method.
//
// An arbitrary threshold of 30 is fixed for this code rule as suggested by inventors.
//
// Notice that no amount of testing will keep methods with a Cyclomatic Complexity
// highest than 30, out of CRAP territory.
//
// Notice that this rule doesn't match too short method
// with less than 10 lines of code.
//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// In such situation, it is recommended to both refactor the complex method logic
// into several smaller and less complex methods 
// (that might belong to some new types especially created),
// and also write unit-tests to full cover the refactored logic. 
//

// A dead method is a method that can be removed
// because it is never called by the program.
//
// This rule lists not only methods not called anywhere in code,
// but also methods called only by methods not called anywhere in code.
// This is why this rule comes with a column *MethodsCallingMe* and
// this is why there is a code metric named *depth*:
//
// • A *depth* value of *0* means the method is not called.
//
// • A *depth* value of *1* means the method is called only by methods not called.
//
// • etc…
//
// By reading the source code of this rule, you'll see that by default,
// *public* methods are not matched, because such method might not be called
// by the analyzed code, but still be called by client code, not analyzed by NDepend.
// This default behavior can be easily changed.
//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// *Static analysis* cannot provide an *exact* list of dead methods,
// because there are several ways to invoke a method *dynamically* (like through reflection).
//
// For each method matched by this query, first investigate if the method is invoked somehow
// (like through reflection).
// If the method is really never invoked, it is important to remove it 
// to avoid maintaining useless code.
// If you estimate the code of the method might be used in the future, 
// at least comment it, and provide an explanatory comment about the future intentions.
//
// If a method is invoked somehow,
// but still is matched by this rule, you can tag it with the attribute 
// **IsNotDeadCodeAttribute** found in *NDepend.API.dll* to avoid matching the method again.
// You can also provide your own attribute for this need,

// Notice that:
//
// • For an instance field, constructor(s) of its class that assign the field are not counted.
//
// • For a static field, the class constructor that assigns the field is not counted.
//
// The default threshold for *instance fields* is *assigned by more than 4
// methods*. Such situation makes harder to anticipate the field state during
// runtime. The code is then complicated to read, hard to debug and hard to
// maintain. Hard-to-solve bugs due to corrupted state are often the 
// consequence of fields *anarchically assigned*.
//
// The situation is even more complex if the field is *static*.
// Indeed, such situation potentially involves global random accesses from
// various parts of the application. This is why this rule provides a lower 
// threshold equals to *assigned by more than 2 methods* for static fields.
// 
// If the object containing such field is meant to be used from multiple threads, 
// there are **alarming chances** that the code is unmaintainable and bugged.
// When multiple threads are involved, the rule of thumb is to use immutable objects.
//
// If the field type is a reference type (interfaces, classes, strings, delegates) 
// corrupted state might result in a *NullReferenceException*.
// If the field type is a value type (number, boolean, structure) 
// corrupted state might result in wrong result not even signaled by an exception 
// thrown.

//<HowToFix>
// There is no straight advice to refactor the number of methods responsible

// For a solid code structure and organization, 
// do mirror the namespaces hierarchy and the directories hierarchy containing source files.
//
// Doing so is a widely accepted convention, and not respecting this convention 
// will lead to less maintainable and less browsable code.
//
// Respecting this convention means that types declared in the same namespace,
// should have their source files stored in the same directory.
//
// For each namespace that contains types whose source files
// are declared in several directories, infer the **main directory**,
// the directory that naturally hosts source files of types,
// preferably the directory whose name corresponds with the namespace 
// name. In this context, this code rule matches:
//
// • The namespace
//
// • **typesDeclaredOutOfMainDir**: types in the namespace whose source files 
// are stored out of the *main directory*.
//
// • The *main directory*
//  
// • *typesDeclaredInMainDir*: for informational purposes, types declared 
// in the namespace, whose source files are stored in the *main directory*.
//</Description>

//<HowToFix>
// Violations of this rule are types in the **typesDeclaredOutOfMainDir** column.
// Typically such type…
//
// •  … is contained in the wrong namespace but its source file is stored in the right directory.
//    In such situation the type should be contained in the namespace corresponding to
//    the parent directory.
//
// •  … is contained in the right namespace but its source file is stored in the wrong directory.
//    In such situation the source file of the type must be moved to the *main directory*.
//
// •  … is declared in multiple source files, stored in different directories.
//    In such situation it is preferable that all source files are stored in a single directory.
