4.5 ignore option (-I)

This is the “procedure name to be ignored” option.

This option has some usage constraints. It:

• may appear an unlimited number of times.

Some code has macros defined that confuse the lexical analysis. This will cause them to be ignored. Other ways to cause functions to be ignored are:

1. Use K&R syntax for a procedure header.
2. Use a preprocessing macro to assemble the procedure header.
3. Simplify your code.

Generally speaking, anything you do that alters normal C syntax will confuse the lexical analysis. If a procedure is not seen, then it will not get counted. If code within a procedure is incomprehensible, you will likely get inappropriate results.
