Possible inconsistent counting of "same" lines about cloc HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you post a pair of files that exhibit this problem?

from cloc.

I cannot due to the nature of the work, but I can say that they were fairly standard .cpp files with only about 100 lines of new/modified code between versions, but the latest cloc was counting the entire file as new code. This happened to multiple cpp file pairs. I wish I could provide more detail, I realize it is tough to debug without examples. Could there be any change from 1.77 to 2.00 with how C++ language is handled?

Sure, I get that you have proprietary files you can't share. I don't need those, per se, but any pair of files that exhibit the problem. Can you download some random C++ file from a tutorial site for example, modify it, run the pair through cloc diff and show that the same count is messed up?

I took a shot with the prime number example at https://www.programiz.com/cpp-programming/examples/prime-interval-function but cloc's result always makes sense.

Well now I feel silly, I re-ran cloc 1.77 and 2.00 against the original set of files I thought it was over-counting and it is reporting the exact same number of changed/added lines. I'll keep testing between the two versions as I use the tool for future sets of files, but until then I'd say this was a false alarm. Thank you again for this wonderful tool :)

That's a relief, thanks for the update.
