Code Query Language
The purpose of CQL is to perform queries over the source code and to retrieve statistics. The syntax is similar to SQL (Structured Query Language) and it is not a coincidence CQL regards the source as a database. Over 200 keywords are available to execute different queries and retrieve data. Using CppDepend and CQL developers can analyses their C/C++ code and prepare useful graphs.
