do you all know a good and SIMPLE script that can counts the line of code for a c or c++ code ?

The simplest, most naive way to do this is   wc -l or the equivalent in Perl, which would look something like 

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $lc = 0;
while ( <> ) { $lc++ }
print "$lc\n";

The meta problem depends on what you're going to use the LOC count for. If you're trying to draw a parallel between actual code and lines of text for some purpose that will eventually involve rating coders, you're in for a lot of trouble. People quickly figure out how to generate lots of lines of stuff when they're being graded on it. Simple ways of counting can lead to stupid behavior.
