Hi, I'm diffing a bunch of binary files, recursively. Basically, I'm running: diff --recursive --brief dir_a dir_b And this tells me which files differ, and which are only present in one of the locations. I'd like to get a bit more information, roughly, how much different they are from one another. A percentage would do. Is there ...
I've found only abandoned projects, theories and feature lists. But I could not find a tool which can compare two C++ source files and show semantic differences. Of course I would not compare two unrelated files, or changes accumulated during 10 years of development and maintenance. But changes usually discussed at a code review would ...
Hi, When external diff is configured, results are displayed per file, i.e. to view differences for the next file one needs to close currently running diff viewer. Is there a way to make git spawn all diff viewer processes in parallel? If I just spawn process from within external diff script, apparently git deletes the temporary files ...
E.g. .difffile, .diff? ...
Hello. I'm using vim -d file1 file2 in order to see they difference. All works fine, but i want to ignore whitespace changes - they are irrelevant for source code files. vim help states that following command will do the magic: set diffopt+=iwhite But, unfortunately, this command only adds '-b' to diff tool command line, that only ig...
I've got two ways of fetching a bunch of data. The data is stored in a sorted vector<map<string, int> >. I want to identify whether there are inconsistencies between the two vectors. What I'm currently doing (pseudo-code): for i in 0... min(length(vector1), length(vector2)): for (k, v) in vector1[i]: if v != vector2[i][k]:...
Hello. Normally, 'diff' tool finds only changes between lines. For example, if i compare 'abcdef' and 'AbcdEf', diff will show that 'abcde' is changed and 'f' is unchanged. Is it possible to find multiple changes per line, so in example above i will see that it's only 'a' changed to 'A' and 'e' changed to 'E'? Or diff outut format does ...
Is there a way to view the difference between two binary DLL files? I have PDBs for both. Ideally I'd like to see: What functions have been added What functions have been removed What functions have been modified (with a diff of the disassembly) What other entries (static variables, resources, etc) have been added/removed/modified ...
I'd like to be able to do a code-level diff between two assemblies; the Diff plug-in for Reflector is the closest thing I've found so far, but to compare the entire assembly is a manual process requiring me to drill-down into every namespace/class/method. The other tools I've found so far appear to be limited to API-level (namespaces, c...
Say I have a big file in one directory and an older version of it in another. Is it somehow possible to update the older version with only the changes in the new one? So that I would copy only a small fraction from one place to another. Would have to work for both text and binary files. Not sure if this is possible though, but curious t...
I'm looking for a file compare tool with a "combined file" view. To me, this makes the best use of screenspace because unchanged lines are only shown once and also I don't have to move my eyes much to move from "before" to "after". The screenshot below shows what I mean - the blue and red text show the differences, the black text on whit...
I'm not sure it's even possible, but my command line usecase goes something like this: do svn update do a svn log -l {how many times since my last commit - 1} do a `svn diff -rHEAD:{my last commit revision + 1} and try to get an overview of what happened since last time I touched the code. I get a lot of valuable information from thi...
Given: an SVN repository, a bin directory inside it and a script.pl inside this bin. Some revisions ago, bin and script.pl has been added to the repository in one commit. Since then, some revisions has been applied to script.pl. Needed: a diff command which would return a complete diff for script.pl from zero to HEAD, i.e. a diff with a...
I have a patch which I'd like to split into two patches. I need to split the patch with per-line granularity -- I can't just split the hunks up into two separate files. I could use Emacs diff mode, but I'm a Vim user, and I don't want to learn Emacs. I'm managing this patch in Mercurial Queues, and I've been using the crecord plugin, ...
We have an Winforms application that has access to many versions of a plain text document. We'd like to have a component that takes a list of documents and allows a user to pick two, and then shows the differences in terms of crossed out and other-colored text. Something like 37Signals "Writeboard". We know we can use a version of di...
This StackOverflow answer has an image of KDiff3 highlighting intra-line differences. Does someone know of a tool which can show the same (ex, via color) on the command line? Another way to think of this is wanting to diff each difference in a patch file. ...
Hi! Here's my situation... I'm working on a project and don't have rights to commit to the CVS repository. Instead I have to create and submit patches. However, sometimes I need to share code with other developers and they send me patches of their own that I need to apply... but then when comes the time to generate my own patch, it ...
I want users to be able to see what was added / changed in a blog post. I'm using Vestal Versions (great gem) to keep track of changes, but I don't know how to show this to users so they can see what has changed. My first impulse is to find a diffing library for ruby and just show the diff between version N and version N-1. What's a goo...
Consider the following example : $ls base.txt base-modified.txt $diff base.txt base-modified.txt > diff.txt $rm base-modified.txt $ I want the base-modified.txt from base.txt and diff.txt... Can anyone suggest a way ? ...
I'm using MySQL Workbench to maintain the database schema for an application. The .mwb file that Workbench uses, which is a zipped XML document, is kept in a Subversion repository. The file is treated as binary data by Subversion, so I cannot use svn diff to show the changes, for example before committing. Since the data is really XML,...
