Your longuest function!
-
Yep, 1460 lines in one of my functions. Its a switch statement that handles LCP requests, all written in C. The file itself is 5000 lines plus. Longest file I ever saw was over 90,000 lines. It was auto generated code consisting of a class constructor. (Yes, just one constructor). It was generated from an excell file that defined the data layout of a particular RAM pack.
Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception
Perhaps I should say your longuest, manually typed, non-repitive function! big switch or auto generated obviously don't qualify! (they could be very long, yet very clear) speaking of autogenerate code, for this project I auto generated 4 files. one of them is 1 MB, 400.000 line of Managed C++ ;P

Well I haven't pay attention to how long mine are. But the fact is, I'm porting my boss's MacOSX application to Windows and I routinely found method over... ... ... 1300 lines of code! :doh: To tone done this fact I should mention it's written in Objective-C which, like C and C++, is quite verbose. And there are (a few) comments. Yet, it's long.... That the size of a class for me! Sometimes I found it tiresome to "translate it" to proper C#...
It sounds like your boss needs educating in how to code in a maintainable fashion. I'd not let a method longer than about 100 lines through QA, and only then with harsh criticism and a promise to refactor it as soon as practical. If it can't fit on one sheet of A4 comfortably, it's far too long.

Absolutely - My longest methods tend to be unit tests where they set up the environment before running the test code and then testing the results afterwards. For production code a few lines is typical, maybe two or three dozen at most.

"It has to fit on one page". Then the boss orders a poster size printer... X|

:-O I've got a method about 230 lines long (with a lot of comments). It's the main method for a full-fledged table layout algorithm that has: * col/row width options such as fit-to-content, percent, and absolute * the ability to choose which rows/cols get "crushed" or get collapsed when things don't fit * choice of which rows/cols if any are widened to fit the remaining layout area * space prioritization for rows/cols * repeating rows/cols * at least several other features I've broken up the functionality into at least 15 methods, but the main function is still too big for my liking. -- modified at 5:03 Tuesday 1st August, 2006

longest class I've ever seen was over 13000 lines long. It contained 8 classes with all the functions scattered through one another. It was VC++. It was the kind of program that gets you the response: "Don't touch that, it works." response. :laugh:
I've found a living worth working for, but I haven't found work worth living for. :beer:
:jig: -

I often find the length of the method banner (particularly if it has full Doxygen commenting and notes on the usage of the method) is a significant proportion of that of the method itself...:doh:

Yep...and probably a large shotgun. ;)

Often I find that it is much larger than the method. By the time you add examples of use, pre and post conditions, etc., etc. Graham

They can be. A great deal depends on the size and requirements of the interface.
