by Eric S. Raymond

November 2016

loccount is a re-implementation of David A. Wheeler's sloccount tool

in Go.  It is faster, handles more different languages, can report LLOC

as well as SLOC, and can do COCOMO II as well as COCOMO I estimates. Because

it's one source file in Go, it is easier to maintain and extend than the

multi-file, multi-language implementation of the original.

The algorithms are largely unchanged and can be expected to produce

identical numbers for languages supported by both tools.  Python is

an exception; loccount corrects buggy counting of single-quote multiline

literals in sloccount 2.26.

To build it, have the Go compiler and Python installed and do "make"

in the top-level directory. 

If you get a message about genericLanguages being undefined, you did "go build"

which is not enough.  The make production generates some Go from a JSON file; 

this is why you needed Python installed.

You can run a self-test with 'make check'.  The sample sources are in

the test/ subdirectory.

See hacking.adoc for information on how to add support for a language.
