sloc VS linuxconsole

With long functions normally there comes large files as well. People tend to put everything into one file if they also put a lot into one function. So in theory we could take the lines of code as a measurement as well. There are a lot of utility packages out there that solve this problem. One of these tools is called sloc. It will output the number of lines of code within a file. But do not use it directly. The tool I mentioned before includes this by default.

The title of the stackexchange discussion is a little misleading. It really is: '"Hello, World" in what sloc thinks is zero lines of source code'

Most of the top solutions seem to take advantage of bugs in the way sloc tries to parse commented lines. e.g. many are ////

And I'm surprised I don't see a related bug issue in the git repo: https://github.com/flosse/sloc/issues

Still this is a fun read. I'm curious to see what other tricks are out there.

Today, I plugged in my Fanatec Wheel and wanted to run the "ffcfstress", which should let the wheel oscillate left and right. Even though the wheel has autocentering etc., I get the "ERROR: device (or driver) has no constant force feedback support".
