CodeMeter is a small program for counting the number of lines of code in a directory with language statistics (by file type) and taking into account blank lines. CodeMeter uses the C language and relies on the Windows API to meet the following objectives:
- to have a small and fast-running program (the popular alternative
clocis quite slow on large projects). - to have access to specific system interfaces for optimizing I/O operations: Windows I/O completion ports, in Windows 10+ I/O Ring API.
- practice and study of C and Win32.
- Basic foundation and data structures for future expansion
- Logging and verbose mode with command line argument support
- Basic file reading in a directory and counting lines in them
- File extension determination and matching with file type/programming language
- Counting empty lines
- RegEx support and counting lines of code by programming languages
- Use only native interfaces, avoiding Win32 libraries to minimize the final program file size
- Use IOCP
- Support I/O Ring in Windows 10+
