Detailed Description

Contextual diffing.

This is an internalized library for performing contextual diffs between sources of data.

Note
This is different than Subversion's binary-diffing engine. That API lives in svn_delta.h – see the "text deltas" section. A "text delta" is way of representing precise binary diffs between strings of data. The Subversion client and server send text deltas to one another during updates and commits.

This API, however, is (or will be) used for performing contextual merges between files in the working copy. During an update or merge, 3-way file merging is needed. And 'svn diff' needs to show the differences between 2 files.

The nice thing about this API is that it's very general. It operates on any source of data (a "datasource") and calculates contextual differences on "tokens" within the data. In our particular usage, the datasources are files and the tokens are lines. But the possibilities are endless.

Typedef Documentation

Style for displaying conflicts during diff3 output.

Since
New in 1.6.

There are four types of datasources.

In GNU diff3 terminology, the first three types correspond to the phrases "older", "mine", and "yours".

To what extent whitespace should be ignored when comparing lines.

Since
New in 1.4.

Options to control the behaviour of the file diff routines.

Since
New in 1.4.
Note
This structure may be extended in the future, so to preserve binary compatibility, users must not allocate structs of this type themselves.
See Also
svn_diff_file_options_create().
Note
Although its name suggests otherwise, this structure is used to pass options to file as well as in-memory diff functions.

A vtable for reading data from the three datasources.

Since
New in 1.7.

Like svn_diff_fns2_t except with datasource_open() instead of datasources_open().

Deprecated:
Provided for backward compatibility with the 1.6 API.

A single hunk inside a patch.

The lines of text comprising the hunk can be interpreted in three ways:

  • diff text The hunk as it appears in the unidiff patch file, including the hunk header line ("@@ ... @@")
  • original text The text the patch was based on.
  • modified text The result of patching the original text.

For example, consider a hunk with the following diff text:

  @@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
   #include <stdio.h>
   int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  -        printf("Hello World!\n");
  +        printf("I like Subversion!\n");
   } 

The original text of this hunk is:

  #include <stdio.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
          printf("Hello World!\n");
  } 

And the modified text is:

  #include <stdio.h>
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
          printf("I like Subversion!\n");
  }

Describes what operation has been performed on a file.

Since
New in 1.7.

A vtable for displaying (or consuming) differences between datasources.

Differences, similarities, and conflicts are described by lining up "ranges" of data.

Any of the function pointers in this vtable may be NULL to ignore the corresponding kinds of output.

Note
These callbacks describe data ranges in units of "tokens". A "token" is whatever you've defined it to be in your datasource svn_diff_fns_t vtable.
typedef struct svn_diff_t svn_diff_t

An opaque type that represents a difference between either two or three datasources.

This object is returned by svn_diff_diff(), svn_diff_diff3() and svn_diff_diff4(), and consumed by a number of other routines.

Definition at line 81 of file svn_diff.h.

An opaque type representing an open patch file.

Since
New in 1.7.

Definition at line 1082 of file svn_diff.h.

typedef struct svn_patch_t svn_patch_t

Data type to manage parsing of patches.

API users should not allocate structures of this type directly.

Since
New in 1.7.

Data type to manage parsing of properties in patches.

API users should not allocate structures of this type directly.

Optionally supply original_header and/or modified_header to be displayed in the header of the output. If original_header or modified_header is NULL, a default header will be displayed, consisting of path and last modified time. Output all headers and markers in header_encoding. If relative_to_dir is not NULL, the original_path and modified_path will have the relative_to_dir stripped from the front of the respective paths. If relative_to_dir is NULL, paths will be not be modified. If relative_to_dir is not NULL but relative_to_dir is not a parent path of the target, an error is returned. Finally, if relative_to_dir is a URL, an error will be returned.

svn_stringbuf_t **  stringbuf,
const char **  eol,

)

Allocate *stringbuf in result_pool, and read into it one line of the diff text of hunk.

The hunk header is not returned only the unidiff data lines (starting with '+', '-', or ' ') are returned. If the hunk is being interpreted in reverse (i.e. the reverse parameter of svn_diff_parse_next_patch() was TRUE), the diff text will be returned in reversed form. The line-terminator is detected automatically and stored in *eol if eol is not NULL. If EOF is reached, set *eof to TRUE, and set *eol to NULL if the hunk does not end with a newline character and eol is not NULL. Temporary allocations will be performed in scratch_pool.

Note
The hunk header information can be retrievied with the following functions:
