Diomidis Spinellis. A tale of four kernels.

The FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Solaris, and Windows operating
systems have kernels that provide comparable
facilities. Interestingly, their code bases share
almost no common parts, while their development
processes vary dramatically. We analyze the source
code of the four systems by collecting metrics in
the areas of file organization, code structure,
code style, the use of the C preprocessor, and data
organization. The aggregate results indicate that
across various areas and many different metrics,
four systems developed using wildly different
processes score comparably. This allows us to posit
that the structure and internal quality attributes
of a working, non-trivial software artifact will
represent first and foremost the engineering
requirements of its construction, with the influence
of process being marginal, if any.
