Also, it misses ;s that are followed by comments.


Somewhere along the way I picked up a perl script by one Christopher
Moore, which reports (pseudo) SLOC, comment lines, blank lines, the
total, and the number of subrountines.  If you give it a wildcard
argument it reports those counts per-sourcefile and totals them at the
bottom.

A Web search turns it up at Adapower,
http://www.adapower.com/reuse/sloc.html, though I use a minorly hacked
version that reports in nice on-screen columns rather than as a
comma-delimeted list.

FWIW, I like to count comment lines as well as lines of code, since they
represent a commitment of effort toward the solution of the problem.
