Code Lines (Includes Inactive)

API ID: CountLineCodeWithInactive
Languages: C++
Targets: Architectures, Classes, Files, Functions, Project

Number of lines containing source code, including inactive regions.

Unlike Code Lines, this counts a code line whether or not it falls inside an inactive #if/#ifdef region, and also counts the preprocessor conditional directive lines (#ifdef, #endif, etc.) that guard those regions.

For example:

void SayHello::printHello() {
  switch (i) {
    case 0:
      cout << "Hello World" << endl;
    case 1:
      cout << "HELLO WORLD!" << endl;
    default: // a comment here
      for (int m = 0; m < j; m++);
      cout << "hello world" << endl;
  }
#ifdef A_VERY_NICE_VARIABLE

  cout << "Inactive Line" << endl; // Inactive
#endif

}

The 12 code lines (11-20, 23, 26 — including the inactive cout << "Inactive Line" statement) plus the 2 preprocessor lines (#ifdef A_VERY_NICE_VARIABLE and #endif) give CountLineCodeWithInactive = 14.

See Code Lines to exclude inactive code.
