Are you seriously putting the Linux kernel forward as a typical C code base? Isn't that a bit like selecting the example of an F1 car to show that cars are usually at least as fast as motor cycles?
- Aeolos 3y agoNeither Chrome nor Linux are “typical” programs for their respective languages, but they are real examples used by hundreds of millions of people. Feel free to provide evidence for other cross-comparable c & c++ codebases if you have.
- nindalf 3y agoPicking Chrome and Linux as examples is good for a couple of reasons. No one will complain that the codebases are small or were written by “bad” programmers who didn’t take enough care to write good code. Because that’s the only thing holding back some languages right? If only the programmers using them would get good, use static analysis tools then bugs would be eliminated.
