Code statistics for common open-source projects

The following statistics only contain the main modules. For example, GCC does not contain gcj and libreoffice only contains the core module.

Name	Version	Main Development Speech	CodeNumber of rows (thousand rows)
Kernel	3.0	C	13380
Gcc	4.6	C	5109
Coreutils	8.16	C	246
Libevent	2.0	C	68
MySQL	5.5	C ++	1677
Lighttpd	1.4	C	56
Memcached	1.4	C	11
Libreoffice	3.5	C ++ accounts for about 90%.	7100

The original intention of making this statistic is to correct some prejudices. Some people think that C/C ++ does not have many open-source projects, but it is actually not.

In addition to the above, there are many open-source projects, such as Firefox, chrome, QT, wine, ImageMagick, Apache, gnome, Kde, FFMPEG, nm-hc, eMule is developed in C/C ++.

In fact, most of the major open-source projects are developed in C/C ++.
