> For example, if I feed it with the 10 MLoC repository, how long does it take before it can start working through the problem?
The initial scan may take about a hour with a repository that size, and the knowledge base buildup will take about a week (but that one happens during the coding process). It will not continuously scan the entire codebase once it builds up the knowledge of the repository.
Would it really work well with the mixture of at least C and assembly which you implied it would with Linux kernel example?
