Question

I am using clear-case as version control. Usually when working with the maintenance projects it’s required to count the changed lines from existing code. How we can do this under clear-case. It would be helpful if you can give the details of the command tool and parameters to get the changes made within a particular period of time.

Answer 1

You can start by testing the slc perl script which does count changed lines:

So if I want to count the changed lines of code between what is in my view and what was on the REL1.0.0 label, I would do the following:

$ sclc -fromver REL1.0.0 *.[ch]

And if I wanted to count the changed lines of code between files on my /main/rel1/mychanges branch and the REL1.0.0 baseline label they where branched off from, I would use:

$ sclc -fromver REL1.0.0 -tover .../mychanges/LATEST *.[ch]

If I wanted to see the difference in lines of code for files on to different labels I would do something like:

$ sclc -fromver REL1.0.0 -tover REL2.0.0 *.[ch]

There is no “native” solution though, and this thread summarizes the situation.
