CQL constraints are customizable and typically tied with a particular application. For example, they can allow the specification of customized encapsulation constraints such as, I want to ensure that this layer will never use this other layer or I want to ensure that this class will never be instantiated outside this particular namespace.

CppDepend and CQL also addresses code metrics. For example you can ensure that most of your methods will never have more than 200 code line or more than 5 parameters.

Moreover the interactive view provided by VisualCppDepend helps developers get a better understanding of the structure of their code.

How can I analyse my projects other than vcproj with CppDepend?
