Tool to calculate Cyclomatic Complexity for C code

Question

I want a tool to analyse my code quality and after a bit of googling I think I understand that Cyclomatic Complexity could be something to start with here. I have tried to get several tools working but without success (found out that most are developed for Java). My requirements are:

Should work on C code
Should work on Ubuntu (12.04)
Should be free
(Optional) Plugin for eclipse

I would be grateful for any help

Have looked to other questions like [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/125898/tool-for-calculating-cyclomatic-complexity) — Alexander Dzyoba, Mar 19 '14 at 09:20
I have read that and tried some of them but most are for other languages. But I actually went back there now and found one called [lizard](https://github.com/terryyin/lizard) that actually does what I want but I think it would be better to have a GUI or Eclipse plugin. — Olppah, Mar 19 '14 at 10:01

There is Eclipse metriculator plugin.

There is also cccc - an open source program to analyze code.

Isn't Metrics plugin for java? – Olppah Mar 19 '14 at 13:00
@user2021579 works for c and c++ – BЈовић Mar 19 '14 at 15:15
[This](http://metrics.sourceforge.net/) says "metrics are all about counting aspects of your java code". – Olppah Mar 19 '14 at 15:23
@user2021579 Ok, I actually use metriculator, and that is for c and c++. – BЈовић Mar 19 '14 at 15:31

@BЈовић no it's not metriculator is c++ only https://github.com/ideadapt/metriculator/issues/13 – Anton Krug Jan 08 '18 at 15:45
