Over time the software programs supporting a system tend to increase in size (which, as mentioned earlier, is traditionally measured by
lines of code).
The use of circular arcs or NURBS--as a replacement for linear segments--helps reduce the number of
lines of code.
As commercial software is developed, it typically contains 20 to 30 bugs for every thousand
lines of code, according to Carnegie Mellon University's CyLab Sustainable Computing Consortium.
The new deadline gives SCO 45 days to identify all specific
lines of code that it says IBM has contributed to Linux from AIX and Dynix, all specific lines of Unix System V code that it believes IBM's code to be derived from, all
lines of code in Linux that it claims rights to, and all
lines of code that SCO has distributed to other parties.
A Fanuc 0/18/21 control is often programmed with 2
lines of code as follows.
By some estimates 5 to 20 bugs exist for each 1,000
lines of code; with Windows 2000 comprising some 35 million
lines of code, there could be as many as 700,000 potential bugs (recent distributions of Linux have almost an equal number of
lines of code).
However, Eric Somers of Dutchess Community College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., questions how well the scheme would work for debugging even medium-size programs with thousands of
lines of code. Vickers agrees it would be tedious.
Developer productivity has nothing to do with the speed one can bang out a hundred
lines of code using various bells and whistles and shortcut key code combinations', according to Butler Group's latest report, `Application Development Enviroments--Understanding the Revolution in Software Development.'
The PLC is capable of processing 100 sec per 1,000
lines of code, and the controller has a cycle time of 6.25 sec.
Though EDS was responsible for keeping more than 2.5 billion
lines of code running at 9,000 corporations and government agencies, its own email system was a tangle of 16 different, incompatible networks.
In a standard configuration characters and images can range in height from 0,06" to 0.7", while an optional dual-head arrangement permits a matrix of up to eight
lines of code at nearly 1.5" high.
Therefore, remove specific
lines of code that you don't want your routine to perform the next time.
