How do I Calculate the KLOC (Lines of Code) for a PBL (all objects)???

[Asim Malik]

Hi,

I have to calculate the size of my product built using PB6.5 in terms of
KLOCs. There are about 40 pbls each of about 1MB large. (Lost of
objects...I dont have the exact count with me)...

Is there any easy method or tool available to calculate the LOC. The
long and direct way is to export the objects and count OR count the
lines manually for each event, functions etc....Now this is a very very
tedious method.

Any suggestions on how to go about this...any tools...methods etc....

Appreciate your help folks....
Asim

I don't know if a tool is available, but you could write a small program
that does this for you.

Use the LibraryDirectory () function to get a complete list of all objects.
Then loop each object with FindClassDefinition (). And use the
FindMatchingFunction to get the script. Then you can use the 'Source' to
count the lines.

Yet another company whose billing is based on lines of code? More lines <>
better code, but more lines = higher billing charge.

Or some PHM thinks it's a good metric for how productive his programmers
are - never mind analysis and testing, which are 80% of the effort.

Got www.puterwerks.com and look at the tools there. I am pretty sure
there are one or more that will do this.

PBL Peeper (see below) counts lines of code, both on a object level
and on a script level (Lists / Objects and Lists / Scripts, plus View
/ Show... / Lines). The sum appears on the bottom of the list. The sum
on the scripts page excludes other parts of the object (which aren't
necessarily unimportant), but both counts are based on physical lines,
so it includes blank lines, comments, etc.... I've seen other tools
break out this line count more precisely, but I can't remember who did
it. A good place to start looking is http://www.puterwerks.com.

And I'm likely to agree with other viewpoints on how valuable lines of
code actually is. I've seen CloseQuery scripts copied to all 80
windows in the system, with evolutions (bug fixes) over time that were
never copied back to all the windows. Personally, I'd count this
volume *against* the team, which should have just put in an ancestor
and put the code in there (which is what I ended up having to do).
Programmers shouldn't get extra points for moronic coding. I just
threw it into PBL Peeper because it was about 5 lines of code with PFC
and other stuff I had already written. <g>

Good luck,

Thanks a lot. I really apprciate your help and I agree with you regarding
that duplication of code.....guys have to get smart while coding.....

thanks again. appreciate.
