Of course, we all know that it's trivial to figure out what functions are in what files in C, and that all C code comes with extensive internal documentation because it's *not* self-documenting. > Add to that time to figure out emulators & debuggers for which manuals > can't be found, long since carted off by a former project member.

No C coder dumped on 10s of thousands of lines of code in hundreds of undocumented source files is going to be quick-to-produce. So what's your point? (Hmmm... Cross-posted to linux.dev.kernel - Does this mean the linux kernel is 10's of thousands of lines of code in hundreds of source files, all poorly documented?) -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST).
