Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

We have been using a "C" SLOC counting tool available via anonymous
FTP from uunet.uu.net comp.sources.unix archives. I believe it is
available in volume20,21 or 22 but interested parties should get the
Index and search it for "metrics" to see where the actual package is
located in the archive.

Not only does it generate slocs (we modified it to count ASSY lines as
well), it generates McCabe and Halstead complexity metrics for C
modules. We have found it very useful.
