About:
Scc is a high-performance code counter that accurately counts lines of code in multiple programming languages. It provides detailed metrics including complexity estimates and COCOMO cost calculations. The tool is significantly faster than traditional counters like cloc or slocc while maintaining accuracy.
Key Features:
  • Ultra-fast performance with multi-threading support
  • Accurate complexity and COCOMO II cost estimates
  • Supports 200+ programming languages with automatic detection
  • Produces consistent results across different platforms
  • Low memory footprint and efficient processing
Use Cases:
  • Estimating project development costs and timelines using COCOMO metrics
  • Conducting codebase analysis and complexity assessment
  • Comparing code volume across different programming languages
  • Generating software metrics for reporting and documentation
Alternatives:
  • cloc – Slower but more widely known and established
  • tokei – Similar speed but lacks COCOMO and complexity features
  • sloccount – Provides COCOMO but significantly slower and outdated
