A couple of references :

C++ Report June 1993, vol 5 / no 5 : paper by Grady Booch and Mike Vilot
explaining why the Booch Components are 150,000 lines in Ada and 10,000
lines in C++ (with added functionality and no loss of time or
space performance)

OOPSLA '92 Preliminary Defect Data from the Iterative Development of a
Large C++ Program: paper by James F. Walsh from Rational talking about
defect rates in a large C++ program. In the talk he mentioned that the
defect rates were similar to those found in large Ada programs.
