Is there a utility that can count lines of ada source code? Maybe
there is something in gnat-gps?

GPS -> Tools -> Metrics which I guess uses gnatmetric.exe, which can
be used from the command line.

For some bizarre reason, "gnatmetric" doesn't understand -P <project>,
but "gnat metric" does! (I think there are other tools like this;
"gnatls" vs "gnat list")

Unified Code Count (UCC) includes support for Ada. In addition, it does
things like looking for duplicate source files and can find 'difference'
LOC counts between two code baselines (e.g. lines deleted, added,
modified, etc)

I have a program called ASC (Ada Statement Counter) which is just a wrapper
around the public-domain COUNT_OF_ADA_STATEMENTS from the Ada Software
Repository. I can send it to you if you're interested. ASC is Ada 95 (uses
command line); COUNT_OF_ADA_STATEMENTS is Ada 83.

-- Keywords : Source analysis, Statement Count, Line Count, Hash
-- Abstract :
-- This procedure calculates the "STATEMENTS" of a valid Ada fragment
-- specified by a FILE_NAME string parameter. It need not be a complete
-- compilation unit, but it should have closed all open parens and
-- strings.
--
-- The Ada statement is defined by a semicolon terminator
-- outside of comments, parentheses, or string or character literals.
-- This definition is insensitive to formatting or layout of the source.
--
-- There are exotic cases for which this will misestimate the count
-- but we have never encountered one in real code.
--
-- This procedure is derived from Bill Whitaker's original
-- COUNT_OF_ADA_STATEMENTS, and it does not change his original algorithm.
-- It adds a line count and a character-checksum hash (sum of POS values of
-- all non-space characters in the file mod 256). It also adds a count
-- of the comment lines (over CAS2, which does not).
