Dear Grady:
Re: network mail (28 Mar 1986) regarding the number of lines
per semicolon
The following data was obtained by analyzing the source code from
the DCP (Distributed software engineering Control Process) project.
The DCP is a prototype APSE developed by GTE Communication Systems
as part of a government contract. Our experience with Ada was that
it is better to separate package specifications and package bodies
so we always keep these in separate files. As a result, our analysis
is divided in 2 parts, one for spec's the other for bodies:
SPECIFICATIONS BODIES
number of package units 364 233
total lines (CR count) 71573 139530
- comment lines 31251 20318
- blank lines 16404 28311
-----------------------------------------------------
= Ada lines 23918 90901
number of semicolons 8647 40740
Ada lines / number of 2.77 2.23
These numbers are in accordance with your figure of 2.04 lines per
semicolon. Please feel free to forward this data to those for whom
you deem it is appropriate.
Sincerely,
