[9fans] lies, damn lies and kloc.

[erik quanstrom]

according the the reference below, c# has more types (39509)
than 8c+8l has lines of code:

	; wc -l /sys/src/cmd/^(cc 8c 8l)^/*.[ch]|grep total
	  28619 total

perhaps it would be more fair to compare /sys/include.  but
that's got less than 8kloc.

ironicly titled reference:
	http://codebetter.com/blogs/patricksmacchia/archive/2008/03/18/number-of-types-in-the-net-framework.aspx

i think rob may have recalled a more enlightened era when
he called oo the roman numerals of computing.

You've also forgotten the yacc file in cc. It still doesn't topple
the chart:

; wc -l /sys/src/cmd/^(cc 8c 8l)^/*.[chy]|grep total
29908 total

What should be compared is a C++ compiler and the associated
libraries. Especially in C++0x! :-P

What is the total of all the compilers, assemblers, and linkers put
together?

; wc -l /sys/src/cmd/^(?c ?l ?a)^/*.[chyl] /sys/src/cmd/cc/lexbody |
grep total
143174 total

lexbody is used by the assemblers.

; wc -l /sys/include/*.h | grep total
7871 total
