minus-squareColdus12@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-26 days agoIn what world? 1k lines is a lot… Even a few hundred can take hours if everything is unknown, code is legacy, and naming is bad. Like if there is a line like this memcpy(ptr, src, 4 * 6 * sizeof(real)); What’s that 4? What’s that 6? Is real a float? A double?? What are we copying, where, why??? This is a line I saw recently. 1k code is huge even if readable.
minus-squarebalsoft@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoOk, sure, for low-level C/C++ code with memory management and such it takes a lot longer than 2h per 1000 lines. For business logic in higher-level programming languages it’s usually fine.
