      Oh that’s not uncommon in the industry. Especially when dealing with legacy code.

      Personal best was 40k lines in a file called misc.c containing all the global functions that don’t fit anywhere else.

      Runner up was the one where each developer dumped their miscellaneous functions in their own files, so they don’t have to deal with merge conflicts. Which means we had x1.c, x2.c, x3.c … etc.

        Best I can offer is a combined UI and logic class with 12,500 lines currently. It started out with less than 3,000 lines in the year 2000 (using the brand new Java 1.3), grew to 14,000 over time and survived our recent project-wide one-year cleanup project with only minor losses of code lines.
