There are convenince scripts to gather data about the code written until the first release.
To do this, go to compiler's GitHub page, find the first working release.
Then go to data/compiler-name/compiler and run ../../../commitCSV.sh
with the date of the release. It will populate ../meta/mvp.txt with
the list of commits.
Now run git checkout with the head -n1 ../meta/mvp.txt and either
run ../../../findwcl.sh to count the amount of non-empty lines in the
source files, or run ../../../findls.sh > flist, and edit flist to
have only the files you care about. Afterwards, run
cat flist | xargs sed '/^\s*$/d' | wc -l.
fetch.py is a script that has functions to clone repos, scrape
issues, pull requests and actualize it, filtering ones that were made
after MVP releases that we deem appropriate.
Morley was in active feature development for 4 month and 16 days,
including release preparations. This is the look-back time that we cut
off mvp.txt files generated by commitCSV.sh to analyse commit
density.
