Yes, but I have read technical documentation of big programs and to 
write just 1256 bytes of text to comment several megabytes of very 
complex code is just ridiculous.

Why this discussion?

Because I wrote a very slight critique of gcc saying that there is no 
technical documentation.

To that, thompson immediately answered pointing me to something he 
called "documentation" and you go on in that same vein.

The gcc fan club here is at full speed. No critic should be allowed of 
gcc, gnu, or similar (linux included)

It doesn't matter that linux crashes regularly when I start VLC, that I 
have to reboot (like in the old windows days) each 2 or three days 
because the screen saver fucks up the display and all the screen is 
completely garbled after the machine wakes up.

It doesn't matter thgat gcc is gone to absolutely crazy dimensions 
without the hint of a technical description. Gcc 4.9 has 916 340 lines 
and 27 131 389 bytes of code! (not counting  the .def and similar 
auxiliary files)

I wrote the C containers library and an EXTENSIVE TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION 
of all the specs and code that I published. Look at the PDF file and you 
will see what I consider a technical documentation.
