自由源码浏览工具source navigator

source navigator是redhat公司开发的，可在各种操作系统中运行 的源代码浏览工具，
但是该公司自2004年来就没有再维护了。
现在开源界有热心人试图接管了source navigator的后续工作，

Software measurement enable us to
.estimate cost and effort devoted to project
.determine quality of software
.predict maintainability of software
.validate the best practices of software development

The metrics of software size:
.Simple metrics: LOC(line of code) and FP(Funciton points).
.Complex metrics: Halstead and McCabe
.Object-Oriented Metric

$file file_name

2. sections of ELF
.init
be called before calling main().
.fini
be called after main() return.
<>
.ctors
