Code Line Counter

ferramenta de desenvolvimento para a contagem de número de linhas de código em arquivos de origem.

1. What is Code Line Counter?

Code Line Counter (clc) is a program that determines the number of blank, commented and program lines in source-code. As an input, a file or folder is taken.

2. How do I set up a file for processing ?

There are two ways:

1 Manually , entering the path to the file or folder.

2 Using file browser.

3. Example

File main.cpp is located in the folder:

/sdcard/0/myFiles :

1 You must type /sdcard/0/myFiles/main.cpp

through options (ENTER FILE/FOLDER) or

use the file browser to select that file.

2 You can type /sdcard/0/myFiles , in which

case the program will select all

the files in myFile.

file ==> main.cpp

#include ------------> code line 1

------------> blank line 1

int main() ------------> code line 2

{ ------------> code line 3

/* ------------> comment line 1

multi line comment ------------> comment line 2

*/ comment line 3

cout << "Hello World !"; ------------> code line 4

//single line comment ------------> comment line 4

------------> blank line 2

return 0; ------------> code line 5

} ------------> code line 6

Result after processing selected file:

SUMMARY:

blank lines 2

comment lines 4

code lines 6

all lines 12

4. Languages

Currently supported programming languages are:

•C

•C++

•C#

•Java

•JavaScript

5.Limitations

Identifying comments within source code is

trickier than one might expect. Many languages

would need a complete parser to be counted

correctly. CLC does not attempt to parse any

of the languages it aims to count and therefore

is an imperfect tool. The following are known

problems:

Lines containing both source code and

comments are counted as lines of code.

Comment markers within strings or

here-documents are treated as actual

comment markers and not string literals.

For example the following lines of C code:

printf(" /* ");

for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {

a += i;

}

printf(" */ ");

appear to CLC as two lines of C code

(the lines with black text) and three lines of

comments (the lines which have only red

text--lines with both black and red text are

related as code).
