You want to write a new "aspell" from scratch in C just to make it compile? I think the biggest issue you'd have to deal with is your insanity. ;) If you want to get an idea of what you'd be up against, here's the output of sloccount on the aspell source: SLOC Directory SLOC-by-Language (Sorted) 9383 modules cpp=9383 8901 top_dir sh=8901 7985 common cpp=7985 2870 prog cpp=2590,ansic=280 1511 lib cpp=1511 1288 auto perl=1288 730 myspell ansic=730 338 scripts sh=271,perl=67 303 examples ansic=303 184 gen perl=184 103 misc ansic=103 95 interfaces ansic=95 22 maintainer sh=22 17 win32 ansic=17 16 po sed=16 0 data (none) 0 debian (none) 0 lib5 (none) 0 m4 (none) 0 manual (none) Totals grouped by language (dominant language first): cpp: 21469 (63.62%) sh: 9194 (27.24%) perl: 1539 (4.56%) ansic: 1528 (4.53%) sed: 16 (0.05%) Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC) = 33,746 Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 8.05 (96.57) (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05)) Schedule Estimate, Years (Months) = 1.18 (14.20) (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38)) Estimated Average Number of Developers (Effort/Schedule) = 6.80 Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 1,087,114 (average salary = $56,286/year, overhead = 2.40).
