If you are what you eat, are cannibals the victims of crime?

Chew think that might be a bone-afide assertion? Implies doing this to themselves, sort of, sounding ever so much like a perverted form of mastication.

Function after function, consisting of little more than an assert, a line of code, maybe, and another function call.
On and on and on you search, looking for code that actually DOES something!

Sometimes I even wrote code like that. With C++ it's fairly common due to the class architecture, and sometimes unavoidable if we are to respect OOP.
I still hate it, though.

that's not C++. that's coders who are afraid of functions with more than 15 lines.
come on over to my world, where i'm looking at C functions that sometimes hit 1000 lines.

Until you are the one who has to debug them.
Then you're excited in a whole new way.

It sounds like you support functions with 1000 lines over 15 lines. Extracting out discrete segments of logic into non-public methods/functions not only improves readability but allows you to abstract "complex logic" into an understandable name so new developers can digest it easier.
A caveat, as always, especially since you mention C: If it's for a functional performance requirement, I can't really fault massive functions. I can't seem to find the article but I remember years ago a game engine had to collapse its entire render stack into a single function to improve performance.

if i was King Lord Programmer here i'd forbid any functions with more than 250 lines.
alas, i am not.

I agree with you but I would be inclined to place the limit at 200.

If your slogan was "no functions over 250 lines", I'd vote for you  Oooo, or "Even books have chapters."

3 layers deep is all you need to go.
1st layer: Entry points
2nd layer: logic
3rd layer: detailed code

Ah, yes. The DoEverythingAndThisAndAlsoThatAndOhThisOtherThingAsWell() function.

That's nothing! My record is over 1700 comment lines before the first line of code.

I am actually beginning to hate C++ as well, but the reasons you mention have nothing to do with the language. Try reading some typical Java "enterprise" code and finding a method that actually does something.
