which is the biggest c++ program whose source code is available
Why?
How do you define "biggest"? Biggest distribution, largest executable size, largest source code or some other criteria?
Also, do you mean ONE SINGLE executable, or a collection of executables/DLL's|so's?
Bjarne Stroustrup has a list (some) of applications written in C++ here, some of which are open source:

Firefox is pretty big.
So is Open Office.

The amount of free time people have never ceases to amaze me.Quote:

I remember reading somewhere that Linux version 2.4 contained about 2.4 million lines of code. (I think it's mostly C, with some C++, and some people don't consider an operating system a "program".)
The Gimp is written in C. So is Linux (except for some assembly files).
As far as I know, OpenOffice is Java, hence the JRE installation when installing OpenOffice.
I'm not sure about FireFox, it might be C++. What I'm definitely sure about is that Quake3 is written in C++ and it's sourcecode is available at idsoftware.com (so is the source for all other id software games prior to quake3!)
I'm also wondering: Why? It's not like it'll make any sense. :pQuote:

FireFox is mostly C++, plus a lot of JavaScript. There's also some perl in the build system. NSPR, NSS and the SeaMonkey JS engine are written in C.
OpenOffice.org is mostly C++ and can function without a JRE. However, some features are in Java, like the built-in DMBS.
