Пока только подготовка, код еще не работает.
A Myers diff algorithm with various optimizations, based on the google/diff-match-patch library by Neil Fraser. The purpose of this refactoring is to have a battle-tested Myers implementation in idiomatic C++, made with some acceptable standard of quality.
Improvements made:
- an object-oriented interface (differs from the one in diff-match-patch);
- a MyersDiff template parametrized with an arbitrary string class (or an arbitrary vector with an STL-like interface);
- zero-allocation (the original Java/JavaScript code does a lot of annoying string splicing - JVM may optimize that, std::string does not);
- fuzz tested.
Again, the algorithm accepts arbitrary container classes, so there is no need
to have separate implementations for line-based diff and char-based diff,
for example. Just use std::vector<std::string> to have a line-based diff
(this idea is borrowed from dtl).
Omissions made:
- no matching,
- no patching.
I only need the diff part... other parts are skipped. Feel free to add.
