Thanks Marauder.
Yeah, I think unless you're physically writing the code, that KSLOC is pretty useless as a tracking metrics. I wanted to track testing of completed functional threads instead of KSLOC run through the benches on a UML project a while back and it was no joy. With UML, a coder might make a minor change in the logic using their tools and either explode the SLOC count or make it practically disappear. The compilers used decide how much code is spit out, and the coders would just estimate what the count would be and when they would get there. Nobody wanted to get out of their comfort zones or bone up on what was important so they could confidently explain it to those up the chain who only understood KSLOC. I always felt tracking thread closures would produce fewer lines of code in the end because the coders would know when to stop playing with their code and move onto another project.
