LOC Counter/PSP?

[J Hurrell]

Does anyone have a good LOC (line of code) counter for C#? I don't really feel like writing one and it surprises me that IDE makers still don't see fit to include them. By the way, anyone else use PSP[^]? --- John.

Worth attending it? If it's company-paid, definitely! I went into it kicking and screaming, went through it kicking and screaming, until my data showed that it actually worked. Just to summarize, PSP stands for Personal Software Process and it's a system and set of tools that helps software engineers develop quality code. It does so by encouraging you to use a more formal approach to development. My productivity really improved and my defect rates have dropped dramatically. It's sometimes tedious to use because I just want to jump in and start coding, but I've found that each time I stood back and followed PSP, the quality was better. --- John

You could try CCCC[^] - it works with C, C++, Java, so you might get something out for C# as it's kinda sorta like Java (and as it's open source, I'm sure it would be simple enough to graft a C# parser in:~ )....I've used it with C++ & it threw out LOC numbers that kept my manager happy:-D. It also does McCabes Complexity as well if that floats your boat... Stuart Dootson 'Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p'

Ooohhhhh... complexity. I really wasn't looking forward to writing a parser. I would have been too scared and just settled for a physical line counter. Not as pretty, but it would be fast. I may check that tool out. Thanks. --- John
