How big are your cpp files in genaral? +100, +500 or +1000 lines of code?

usually less than 100 lines of actual code.

around 200-300 when you include comments.

I normally have about 100 - 200 lines w/o comments however I have a couple of 800 line files. Because of the way I have set up my project they are all header files. I have one cpp file - 388 lines and I have one model file, 2726 lines. But that doesn''t count

For the game i''m doing at the moment, the largest file i''ve got is 2711 lines long(including comments), but it doesn''t get changed. The rest are about.. 300-600 lines(including comments) in length

I usually have one header and one source file per class (interface + implementation), unless there are a few very small classes or structures that closely related to each other. File size will vary with the classes, but well-designed classes shouldn''t be super-mega-huge. I usually try to keep things around 1-2 thousand lines at most (LOTS of whitespace included), and much smaller if possible.

My personalised obfuscating string class has an implementation file (.cpp) of 1273 lines. Thats the longest I have.

My sprite module includes maybe ~500 lines of (stolen, naturally) code. That''s the record, I think.

Usually 200+ without comments and blank lines, 300+ with comments and blank lines. My biggest header file is around 900 lines without comments and blank lines.

file.size = (sizeof(class) || sizeof(group_of_related_functions));

500 lines (including comments) is the breaking point for me. Always try to keep my source files under that size.
