Do either of those make sense as a "program /complexity/ metric"? Seems to me that's reading a lot more into those measurements than we should. It's slightly interesting that, while we're happily opining about LOCs and gz, no one has even tried to show that switching from LOCs to gz made a big difference in those "program bulk" rankings, or even provided a specific example that they feel shows how gz is misrepresentative - all opinion, no data. (Incidentally LOC measures source code "shape" as much as anything else - programs in statement heavy languages tend to be longer and thinner, and expression heavy languages tend to be shorter and wider.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
