Random fun fact: Lines of code in our C# compiler test suite

  • Article

For some reason, that I don't remember now actually, one of the guys on my team had to write a quick Perl script to get the number of lines of C# code in a set of source files. He ran it against our test suite and 2,225,546 came out the other end. Not sure how we'd use this data, but we still found it somewhat amusingly interesting.

    Is the result include whitespace like newline, '{', '}', etc....?

    I know he said it didn't include whitespace (blank lines), but it probably would include lines with a single brace on them, etc. I don't think he spent much time on the script.

    Compare this count with the number of lines of code in System.Xml (and XSLT and Serialization) codebase in the ROTOR stack. System.Xml contains 100,000 LOC including whitespace and comments.

    If Perl would get us in trouble, we would have been out of jobs long ago. We use it quite a bit, actually, most of our harness is in Perl.
