Code Proportions Computer for methods with null / true / false

[NicoleRauch]

This Code Proportions Computer should discover methods that are invoked with the constant parameters

• null
• true
• false

Wow, this is not trivial at all...

I've implemented a first rough draft. It attaches the hotspots to the methods where the invocations take place. In an improved version, I'd rather attach the hotspots to the invoked methods... (but couldn't yet figure out how to do that)

This statistics additionally raises the following questions:

• Should we disregard invocations of methods that are not under Usus control (e.g. framework methods)? (I think yes)
• Should we disregard methods with only one parameter (these may be setters)? (undecided)
• Should we disregard invocations of methods that happen in tests? (I rather think yes)

Cool that you've started to work on this! :-)

+1

Should we disregard methods with only one parameter (these may be setters)?

Another possibility would be to ignore methods with one parameter if and only if the start with "set".

Should we disregard invocations of methods that happen in tests?

I think that's orthogonal to this feature and better handled in #15. What do you think?
