Architectural smells gained great attention in the past few years since they directly affect software quality and increase architectural technical debt. However, while it is straightforward to understand why they are important, it is more difficult to find techniques and tools to detect and remove architectural smells. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an open-source tool for automatic architectural smells detection for C/C++ projects, by creating an abstraction of the project and defining the concept of dependency between elements belonging to the project in order to identify architectural smells. The tool has been validated on some open-source projects with promising results.

Abstract
Architectural smells gained great attention in the past few years since they directly affect software quality and increase architectural technical debt. However, while it is straightforward to understand why they are important, it is more difficult to find techniques and tools to detect and remove architectural smells. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an open-source tool for automatic architectural smells detection for C/C++ projects, by creating an abstraction of the project and defining the concept of dependency between elements belonging to the project in order to identify architectural smells. The tool has been validated on some open-source projects with promising results.
