SLOCCount is a set of tools for counting physical Source Lines of Code
|
|
(SLOC) in a large number of languages. It can measure 19 different
|
|
languages, including C, C++, Perl, LISP/Scheme, and Python (A complete
|
|
list is available on the home page).
|
|
|
|
SLOCCount includes a number of heuristics, so it can automatically
|
|
detect file types, even those that don't use the "standard" extensions,
|
|
and conversely, it can detect many files that have a standard extension
|
|
but aren't really of that type. The SLOC counters have enough smarts to
|
|
handle oddities of several languages. For example, SLOCCount examines
|
|
assembly language files, determines the comment scheme, and then
|
|
correctly counts the lines automatically. It also correctly handles
|
|
language constructs that are often mishandled by other tools, such as
|
|
Python's constant strings when used as comments and Perl's "perlpod"
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
SLOCCount will even automatically estimate the effort, time, and money
|
|
it would take to develop the software (if it was developed as
|
|
traditional proprietary software). Without options, it will use the
|
|
basic COCOMO model, which makes these estimates solely from the count of
|
|
lines of code. You can get better estimates if you have more information
|
|
about the project; see the SLOCCount documentation for information on
|
|
how to control the estimation formulas used in SLOCCount.
