Percent of Root Code Lines

API ID: PercentOfRootCodeLines
Languages: Any
Targets: Architectures

Percentage of the root architecture's code lines (CountLineCode) that belong to this architecture.

The root is the top-level architecture (no parent). Both values use CountLineCode, so the denominator is the same for every node and you can compare any two nodes. The root itself returns 100. Returns null if the root has no code lines.
