``dit_metric``
==============

Analyzes the depth of inheritance for objects, protocols, and categories.

| **Availability:** 
|    ``logtalk_load(code_metrics(loader))``

| **Author:** Ebrahim Azarisooreh
| **Version:** 0:6:1
| **Date:** 2024-03-28

| **Compilation flags:**
|    ``static, context_switching_calls``


| **Imports:**
|    ``public`` :ref:`code_metrics_utilities <code_metrics_utilities/0>`
|    ``public`` :ref:`code_metric <code_metric/0>`
| **Uses:**
|    :ref:`numberlist <numberlist/0>`

| **Remarks:**

   - Depth: The depth is the maximum length of a node to the root entity. Lower scores are generally better.
   - Inheritance: A level of inheritance defined by either one of specialization, instantiation, extension, importation, or implementation.
   - Scoring: The maximum path length is determined for each entity in question.
