There is an interesting article article by The ALARCOS Research Group, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain here: might give some insight. I found helpful.

I don't know about this specific metric but I used the CppDepend software in another company and it gave us tens of different metrics (cyclomatic complexity, circular dependancies, etc.).  You might try a demo version and see if it can give you the specific metric you need or ask them for a more or less equivalent one.  There is also a possibility of scripting your own metric with this tool so that might be another possibility.
