Is there a 0 missing? 6k lines of C is on the lower end of things, especially given how verbose vanilla C can be for basic stuff...
No zero missing. Routines for dynamic arrays/vectors, hashmaps, strings, etc (i.e. the basic stuff) are already in precompiled libraries (*.so).
The programs (there were two) consisted of an agent that sat on a remote box gathering packet traces and listening for commands to start/stop/change expression for capture, and would store+forward that capture to a server, which saved the capture in a format wireshark was able to read.
6000 lines is about right for something of that complexity.
AST representation of 6k LoC could probably fit for the most of its part into the L3 cache of modern CPUs. C and C++ build process is mostly a memory-bound problem.
