NAME | |
ULOC – unique lines of code | |
DESCRIPTION | |
There are many tools available which measure SLOC: source lines of code. | |
These tools are strangely complex for what they intend to do, which is to | |
estimate the relative sizes of projects. They perform some amount of | |
parsing in order to discount comments in various languages, and for | |
reasons unknown each format their ouput in some oddly encumbered way. | |
I propose a much simpler method of estimating relative sizes of projects: | |
unique lines of code. ULOC can be calculated with standard tools as | |
follows: | |
sort -u *.h *.c | wc -l | |
In my opinion, the number this produces should be a better estimate of | |
the complexity of a project. Compared to SLOC, not only are blank lines | |
discounted, but so are close-brace lines and other repetitive code such | |
as common includes. On the other hand, ULOC counts comments, which | |
require just as much maintenance as the code around them does, while | |
avoiding inflating the result with license headers which appear in every | |
file, for example. | |
It can also be amusing to read all of your code sorted alphabetically. | |
