Also... I have dug the emacs sources for a while and i can testify that many times, function have two, three (sometimes more) actual implementations that gets actually built depending on configuration (example: sunos va dos vs linux vs win32 version of function foo).

So... Yeah. The c lines are in a way, "overcounted".

No... those lines still have to be maintained and kept in sync, otherwise you end up with bugs. So it's not over counting, because there is still work associated with these different implementations
