SA0178: Cognitive complexity
Function | The check determines whether a defined limit of cognitive complexity is exceeded in a function block. You can configure the parameter that is taken into account in the check by double-clicking on the row for rule 178 in the rule configuration (PLC Project Properties > category "Static Analysis" > "Rules" tab > Rule 178). You can make the following settings in the dialog that appears:
|
Reason | This is about checking individual programming guidelines. Some programming guidelines stipulate a maximum value for the cognitive complexity of function blocks. Excessive cognitive complexity makes the code difficult to read and maintain. |
Importance | Medium |
 | Corresponding metric available The following metric is available for calculating cognitive complexity as part of the metrics table: |
