Is there some way to analyze C++ mercurial changeset to figure out for example the function or class modified?
I would like to get statistics of the amount of revisions of some part of the code: methods, classes, files, folders, etc.
Not sure how good this is when working with C++, but Mercurial optionally uses git-format diffs. Both git diff and hg diff have an option to view the function in which a change was made... in Mercurial you can use hg diff -p:
> hg diff
diff --git a/sandbox/sandbox.cpp b/sandbox/sandbox.cpp
--- a/sandbox/sandbox.cpp
+++ b/sandbox/sandbox.cpp
@@ -86,6 +103,8 @@

> hg diff -p
diff --git a/sandbox/sandbox.cpp b/sandbox/sandbox.cpp
--- a/sandbox/sandbox.cpp
+++ b/sandbox/sandbox.cpp

Notice that with the -p option, each chunk of the diff output includes the containing functions (_tmain in this case). Note that new functions don't appear to include that information.
I'm not sure how you would use this, mind. Perhaps grep the output for lines containing @@.*\(.*\) to get a list of functions?
