case class MethodComplexity(value: Int) extends Property with MethodComplexityPropertyMetaInformation with Product with Serializable

An upper bound for the maximum number of instructions that need to be evaluated when the method is executed/interpreted. Using this property enables other analyses to make a decision whether to "inline" method calls or not. For example, to improve the precision of an analysis it may be very useful to inline short methods. Given the following code:

def abs(i : Int) : Int = {
    if(i == Int.MinValue) Int.MaxValue // COND + RETURN
    else if(i < 0) -i // COND + RETURN
    else i // RETURN
} // COMPLEXITY (BASED ON SOURCE CODE): 5

def ratio(i : Int, j : Int) : Int = {
    abs(i) / abs(j) // HERE, when we do not inline abs calls, we have no idea about the final
                    // result; when we inline the abs calls, we can compute that the returned
                    // value will be positive or that the method throws a
                    // `DivisionByZeroException`.
}

In general, the control flow graph is analyzed to compute an upper bound for the number of evaluated instructions; as far as (easily) possible, loops are conceptually unrolled. If the uppper bound could not be determined, the method is rated as being maximally complex.

The complexity of called methods is generally not taken into account. However, invoke instructions generally have a higher complexity than all other instructions to account for the fact that method calls are more expensive than all other types of instructions.

If an upper bound of a method's complexity cannot be estimated, the method will have Int.MaxValue complexity.
