I'd say a call of the right function in the correct library takes about one line.
and how many lines are in the function?
But C or C++ isn't a language on its own, as you depict. You always access a large pool of libraries, you (surely?) don't reinvent wheels, tires or women every time you start coding something.
Sorry, I depict it that way because that's the way it was when I programmed in C in the 1980s. Admittedly, I am ignorant of how it has evolved since then; however, whatever front end utilities may have been added, I assume C syntax is still C syntax.
So, since I am beyond my knowledge base, my suggestion would be to put stock in what Opie & Tom McGrath have reported regarding their productivity gains using Run Rev.
