Following up my note of February 26th, in throwing out old files, I
happened upon 1988 slides from one of John Mashey's talks. They are
dated 30 August 1988 and one lists the number of lines of code in
various components of the MIPS compilers, loader, assembler and
libraries for all supported languages. I'm going to list them sorted
by size, unlike the original slide:
embedded Ada 11000
ld 15300
profiling & tools 16600
code generator 19400
Pascal 21700
assembler 22600
C 25000
global & inter-unit opt. 31000
debugger 33000
libs & misc. 39300
COBOL 41300
Fortran 77 52700
Ada runtimes 57000
PL1† 99800
Ada 392000
______________________
Total 840700 (the slide is wrong; actually 877700)
† code mostly shared with COBOL.
Yes, that figure for Ada is *not* a typo.
