Counting CodeLines

The term "CodeLines" is somewhat ambigious, therefor one will find plenty of definitions which differ slightly, others are on their way to become something like a standard. For this reason we want to try to negotiate different terms and their meanings, to form a contract of how to understand it when we speak of CodeLines

How many Lines of code do we have here ?:

 if ( my_function1() )
  {
     //error handler
 
  return 1;
  }
 // block of instruction 1
 if ( my_function2() )
   {
      //error handler
 
   return 2;
   }
 // block of instruction 2
 if ( my_function3() )
   {
      //error handler
 
   return 3;
   }
 //  // block of instruction 3 + i
 //  if ( ... )
 //    }
 //    ...
 //    }
