You've hit on a key point here -- just what do want your 'SLOC'
metric to measure? Size? Complexity? Depending upon your
answer, different SLOC methods may be appropriate.
In the years I've been working in the Ada industry, I've never
seen a consensus for an Ada SLOC computational method.
In the past, I've used 'every non-blank, non-comment line is
a LOC'. Note that this method is highly depend upon programming
and formating style. I know that. But it's a simple way to
count, and if you're consistent, then the data can be meaningful.
Just my $0.02.
