negative lines of code
Same for NetBeans IDE https://www.ohloh.net/p/netbeans/analyses/latest may be it's just some integer overflow?
I believe usually it is because some code was added to the repository before Ohloh could identify it and remove after, which results in it only registering the removal.
One of the administrators should be able to start a full re-analysis (they're pretty fast at spotting these threads).
That's more interesting. Do a lot of merges (or just a big one with shell code) happen in your development? I think DVCS merges sometimes confuse Ohloh's line count too.
I haven't drilled into this too deeply yet, but I strongly suspect this is caused by the branching/merging design flaw in our line counter, as described in the post linked above.
It looks like the primary culprit may be ltmain.sh, which appears to have a lot of merge activity around it.
I'm afraid there's not much that we can do in the short term to patch this problem. It's going to require some major redesign of our counting process. This work is on our schedule, but it's going to be a few months.
Thanks,
Robin
