Lines of code...

[Le Ridder Noir]

My collegue writes a lot more code than me, so if we were paid for each line should I work like him. >:confused: Some code of him:

BOOL CMyClass::getDirRoot(char* sDirRootPath)
{
BOOL bRet = TRUE;
CString sDirRootPath_tmp = getenv("Root");
CString sMsg = "\nRoot = "+ sDirRootPath_tmp;

#ifdef _DEBUG
acutPrintf(sMsg);
#else
#endif

if (sDirRootPath\_tmp.GetLength () <= 0)
{
	sMsg = "No Root set";
	AfxMessageBox(sMsg,MB\_OK);
	bRet = FALSE;
}

sprintf(sDirRootPath,"%s",sDirRootPath\_tmp);
return bRet;

}

BOOL CMyClass::getDirRoot(CString& sDirRootPath)
{
BOOL bRet = TRUE;
CString sDirRootPath_tmp = getenv("Root");
CString sMsg = "\nRoot = "+ sDirRootPath_tmp;

#ifdef _DEBUG
acutPrintf(sMsg);
#else
#endif

if (sDirRootPath\_tmp.GetLength () <= 0)
{
	sMsg = "No Root set";
	AfxMessageBox(sMsg,MB\_OK);
	bRet = FALSE;
}

sDirRootPath             = sDirRootPath\_tmp;
return bRet;

}

You could do it more: Instead of

if ( a == b )
cout << a;

(2 lines) you could do

if
(
a

b
)
{
cout
<<
a
;
}

12 lines. Thats an improvement of 600 percent (let alone the comments that I've forgotten) :-). -- See me: www.magerquark.de Want a job? www.zeta-software.de/jobs

or, to make it really bad...

i\
f
(
a
=\

b
)
{
c\
o\
u\
t
<\
<
a
;
}

It also makes it nearly impossible to debug :rolleyes: - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

I hope that we're still talking about lines of code here... :-O (2b || !2b)

OK I have to ask it. what is a knoppenbonker? Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself. Peace" - Victor Stone

He was asking for lines of code, not "working lines of code"....

I don't consider 'non-working' lines of code to actually be lines of code. They are lines of garbage. Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.

When you are writing you're own code it's easy to maintain a high level of productivity. However, in the system I'm working on now, I have to insert code into a working system. Since there are sections of the code that no one has looked at in 6 years, It sometimes takes me three or four days of effort to find a one line bug or insert a 20 line enhancement. That's where the low LOC/day figures come from. In addition I am in a CMM Level 3 shop so all of the documentation and procedure documents take a big cut into that. Along with Design and Code Reviews. 20 LOC/day is an awesome spread for me, it usually only happens when I've got a fairly new section of functionality with minimal impacts to the rest of the codebase. When religion and politics help drive the same cart, they tend to drive faster and faster until it is too late to stop when they see the cliff ahead -- Frank Herbert.

Oh.. I can't follow this view. Otherwise I'd have too many days where hundred lines of code turn into right garbage under my eyes. ;)

Yup, it has happened to me WAY too many times. Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.

There was a post on /. a while back that stated programmers code an average of about 64 days a year. The rest of the time is spent on design, debugging, and canceled projects.

I just used the line counting addin to find the number of lines in the project I am working on now. It has 20 VC++ projects and the counted lines of code is 228,000. I am working on this for the past 9 months. The count also includes the VC++ auto-generated code :).
