1117 pages for millions of lines of code doesn't seem too bad, relatively speaking
- badfrog 8y agoOnly ~20k lines. From the book's into: > The current Linux kernel source code amount is in the number of millions of lines, the 2.6.0 version of the kernel code line is about 5.92 million lines, and the 4.18.X version of the kernel code is extremely large, and it has exceeded 25 million lines! So it is almost impossible to fully annotate and elaborate on these kernels. The 0.12 version of the kernel does not exceed 20,000 lines of code, so it can be explained and commented clearly in a book
- CraftThatBlock 8y agoAh my bad. I guess it's still relatively fair overall.
- tomxor 8y ago> The 0.12 version of the kernel does not exceed 20,000 lines of code > The 4.18.X version of the kernel code is extremely large, and it has exceeded 25 million lines Is most of this drivers though? whats left once that's removed?
- metildaa 8y agoGlue code for the drivers :P
- porpoisely 8y ago1 million lines of code in 1000 pages would come out to 500 lines of code per side of page. You'd need a big magnifying glass to get through that. The book covers an old version of linux which had a few thousand lines of code.
