   Depending on the features of the language (e.g. macros (esp. recursive   
   macros), templates, generics) the function may be superlinear, depending   
   on the program content. Obviously, some other features have higher   
   constant factors than others. As a result, I think that any function you   
   derive will probably be quite sensitive to the particular feature mix   
   that is characteristic of the developers of the source you measure.
