Cognitive complexity statistics are incomprehensibly high in ESP IDF project

[bcdax110]

ESP IDF Hello World project as follow:

_Noreturn void app_main(void)
{
    while(1){
        ESP_LOGI("Test", "Hello World");
    }
}

The complexity statistics for the function _Noreturn void app_main(void) is 19 (126%).

@bcdax110 Can you provide more information? What IDE? What language? How can I setup it to reproduce? etc.

IDE

CLion IDE and plugin ESP-IDF

Language

C

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install ESP-IDF from https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/.

2. In CLion, create a new project with the following settings:
   

   • Env Type: ESP-IDF
   • Install Path: <path to ESP-IDF install path>/frameworks/esp-idf-v5.3.1

3. Add the following code to the void app_main(void) function in the file main/<project_name>.c:

   while(1) {
       ESP_LOGI("Test", "Hello World");
   }

4. "high complexity (126%)" will appear above the app_main function.
