CodingStyle-LinesOfCodeInFile

A file should not contain more than N lines of code

Required inputs: IR

Excessively large files can make code hard to understand and maintain. Try splitting up the code into multiple files bundling individual aspects, which can be understood individually.

Note

Number of lines of code (in a file) is also available as a metric, which can be configured to produce a metric violation when limits are exceeded. This stylecheck rule is available as an alternative to the metric. Further metrics regarding lines of code in routines, etc. are available as metrics as well.
