Extends tools/03_code_analysis/code_quality_score.py with two changes:
- New `high_cyclomatic_complexity` rule: counts if/for/while/switch/case/
&&/|| per function body (McCabe complexity). Threshold 10, -1 per extra
point, capped at 30 per file. Identifies functions that should be split.
- `file_too_long` weight raised from -1 to -2 per 50-line block beyond 500
lines, reflecting the higher maintenance cost of very large files.
Implementation:
- `find_function_bodies()` locates function definitions with `{...}` bodies,
reusing the prefix/reject logic from find_long_function_signatures so that
function calls, lambdas, macros, and function-pointer typedefs are
excluded.
- `find_high_complexity_functions()` walks each body and counts control-flow
keywords via CYCLO_KEYWORDS_RE.
- Cyclomatic complexity follows McCabe: `else if` counts as two `if`,
`switch` + each `case` count separately, `&&`/`||` each add 1.
Scan results on source/ (1652 files, excluding test/ dirs):
- Average score: 79.1 (was 82.1)
- Passing rate (>=60): 1355/1652 = 82.1%
- high_cyclomatic_complexity triggered: 594 functions
- file_too_long triggered: 167 files
Top offenders identified by the new rule:
- source_hamilt/module_xc/xc_grad.cpp:28 `gradcorr` (complexity 145)
- source_lcao/force_stress_lcao.cpp:69 `getForceStress` (103)
- source_lcao/module_deepks/lcao_deepks_iface.cpp:63 `out_deepks_labels` (94)
- source_io/module_ctrl/ctrl_scf_lcao.cpp:82 `ctrl_scf_lcao` (68)
- source_estate/module_charge/charge.cpp:245 `atomic_rho` (60)

This commit extends tools/03_code_analysis/code_quality_score.py with one
new scoring rule, expands the test-file exclusion list, and fixes a
critical class of false positives for keyword-based rules.
1. New rule: post_cpp11_feature (-80, one-shot per file)
The ABACUS project keeps a C++11 baseline (see AGENTS.md § Required
Baseline rule 7). Any newer syntax is a compilation risk on older
compilers, so a one-shot -80 deduction is applied when any of the
following high-confidence, low-false-positive patterns is seen:
C++14 std::make_unique<T>(...)
digit separator in numeric literals (1'000'000)
C++17 if constexpr (...)
structured binding auto [a, b] = ...;
fold expressions (args + ...), (... + args), etc.
std::optional<T>, std::variant<T,U>, std::any
[[nodiscard]], [[maybe_unused]] attributes
C++20 concept / requires / consteval / constinit
coroutine keywords: co_await, co_yield, co_return
std::span<T>, std::ranges::*, std::format(...)
C++23 std::expected<T,E>, std::print(...), std::println(...)
Detection uses a list of (label, compiled_regex) pairs defined in
POST_CPP11_PATTERNS. A single Finding is emitted per file listing all
distinct features and their line numbers so the report is actionable.
2. Test directory exclusion: add "test_serial" to SKIP_DIRS
The exclusion set previously contained {test, tests, test_parallel,
unit_test, unittest} but missed test_serial/ under source_io and
source_base; nine files leaked into score summaries. Now skipped.
3. False-positive fix: introduce strip_strings() helper
strip_comments() erases comments but preserves string literals on
purpose (brace-matching parsers later rely on the real quote
boundaries). That meant keyword-based rules (e.g. the C++20 requires
regex) matched ordinary words inside user-facing strings such as
WARNING_QUIT("... eigensolver requires replicated ...").
The new strip_strings() function walks through content character by
character, tracks "... " and '...' modes, and replaces every
character inside quotes with a space (newlines are preserved so line
numbers stay correct). find_post_cpp11_features() now runs on
strip_strings(strip_comments(content)) — the double pass eliminates
string-literal false matches while still catching real keywords.
4. Results on source/ (1643 files, excluding test dirs):
- Avg score: 79.1 (previous scan w/ buggy version: 78.6)
- Pass rate (>=60): 1348/1643 = 82.0%
- post_cpp11_feature triggered on exactly 1 file after the fix:
source/source_hsolver/diago_pexsi.cpp -> std::make_unique (C++14)
The previous 16 files flagged as "requires (C++20)" were all
string-literal false matches and are now correctly cleared.
