Introducing CppDepend AI
Welcome to CppDepend AI, a revolutionary feature that leverages natural language processing to simplify and enhance the way you audit your source code. CppDepend AI transforms the complex process of code auditing into an intuitive, user-friendly experience, making it accessible to developers of all skill levels.
Important Notice: Users' privacy is important to us. CppDepend does not share any of your source code with us or with the AI server. Only your questions are sent to the AI server for conversion into CQLinq queries, which are then executed locally on your machine. For example, if you ask, "What are the most complex methods?" Our AI is only used to convert your question into the following CQLinq query: (from m in Methods orderby m.CyclomaticComplexity descending select new { m, m.CyclomaticComplexity } ).Take(10) |
