SLOCCount can count physical SLOC for a wide number of languages. It can
|
|
gracefully handle awkward situations in many languages, for example, it can
|
|
determine the syntax used in different assembly language files and adjust
|
|
appropriately, it knows about Python's use of string constants as comments,
|
|
and it can handle various Perl oddities (e.g., perlpods, here documents, and
|
|
Perl's __END__ marker). It even has a "generic" SLOC counter that you may be
|
|
able to use count the SLOC of other languages (depending on the language's
|
|
syntax).
|
|
|
|
SLOCCount can also take a large list of files and automatically categorize
|
|
them using a number of different heuristics. The heuristics automatically
|
|
determine if a file is a source code file or not, and if so, which language
|
|
it's written in. It will even examine file headers to attempt to accurately
|
|
determine the file's true type. As a result, you can analyze large systems
|
|
completely automatically.
|
|
|
|
Finally, SLOCCount has some report-generating tools to collect the data
|
|
generated, and then present it in several different formats and sorted
|
|
different ways. The report-generating tool can also generate simple tab-
|
|
separated files so data can be passed on to other analysis tools (such as
|
|
spreadsheets and database systems).
