Hello,
I'm trying to get an estimate of the order of magnitude of the total number of hours in service for newlib. Is it thousands of hours? Millions of hours? Tens of millions of hours? For which versions?
Usually, I'd work this backwards from estimates of the number of downloads, installed seats, size of the user base, etc. However, newlib doesn't seem to have any of this sort of information available at the download or support websites.
Do you have any information that I might use to estimate the hours in service for newlib? The numbers can be very rough. I'm only trying to choose an order of magnitude. Is it 10^4 or say 10^7 total hours? Any information that I might use to make these gross estimates would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alan
