I have managed to churn out 160 lines of working C today – which I think is quite good going, though, according to this, maybe I could have churned out 400 of C++ or even 960 of Perl (I love Perl but the mind boggles).
My program will tell you how pages pages are present or how many have been swapped (it has the ability to do a bit more too, but I have not exploited that even though it is essentially there) – you can fetch it from github here: valext (the name reflects the idea that this was going to be an extension to Valgrind but then I discovered/realised that was never going to work).
Anyway, what I now have to face up to is whether I am churning out code to avoid actually writing any of my MSc project report – I have a feeling that some of that is going on and think I need to start rereading Writing for Computer Science
