I have been evaluating compilers, and tried to obtain a consistent number of bytes-of-object-code / something (lines of code, semicolons, etc.). I found that I hit a snag when the unit had many calls to subprograms (parameter lists have commas separating them, but produce code), or if the unit did aggregate assignments. I obtained the most consistent ratios when I counted semicolons and commas. I did have one unit that gave quite inconsistent data; it used extensive use of tasking. Roger Racine -------
