Maybe that's changed today. I remember seeing a figure of 11 debugged
lines of code per day per programmer as the average for a GSA programmer

I remeber that statistic from my youth, too. What kind of code? Fortran?
APL? Cobol? Assember? C?
Okay, here are eleven lines of C code:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int i;
for(i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
fprintf(stderr, "%d. Hello world\n", i);
}
}
That is hardly the language for this kind of statistic.
I have just finished a 8 bit CPU in a FPGA...
Can you port those few lines of code for me?
Will get back to you tomorrow.
Ben.
PS: No pushes or pops from the stack, just indexing off S
would make this tricky. 2 byte ints.
foo(a,b,c) -> SUB S #8 params+return
-> ST A S...
-> JSR #foo
