Source Code Lines in gnucash

Just recently I wondered how the actual number of source code lines in
gnucash has changed over the recent releases. There are some numbers in
src/count.dat, but they stop with 385.5k LOC (lines of code) at version
1.8.4. In order to get some more recent numbers, I installed the tool
sloccount and went through various tags in SVN.

Surprisingly enough, sloccount reports numbers that are almost 50% lower
from what Linas' simple line counting initially said. I guess this
simply accounts for the fact that we are using a *lot* of comments
inside of our code, which is good, but they are not counted here [1].
Whatever.

Most notable results from sloccount: gnucash-1.8.4 had 197k SLOC, 1.8.12
had 203k, and 2.0.0 had 250k SLOC. The full numbers are attached; if you
like, I can commit that to src/count.dat as well.

Regards,

Christian

[1] From http://www.dwheeler.com/sloccount/sloccount.html: This tool
measures ``physical SLOC.'' Physical SLOC is defined as follows: ``a
physical source line of code (SLOC) is a line ending in a newline or
end-of-file marker, and which contains at least one non-whitespace
non-comment character.'' Comment delimiters (characters other than
newlines starting and ending a comment) are considered comment
characters. Data lines only including whitespace (e.g., lines with only
tabs and spaces in multiline strings) are not included.
