xxdiff, a graphical file comparator and merge tool
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
xxdiff is a file comparator and merge tool. It is an open-source
|
|
replacement for Rudy Wortel's xdiff which comes with SGI machines
|
|
(which was itself inspired by SGI's gdiff). xxdiff can be used to
|
|
graphically display differences between two (eventually three) files.
|
|
It can also be used to merge two files together, by allowing the user
|
|
to select regions and save the results of the selection. It is also
|
|
an aid in code reviewing, as it allows a reviewer to look at the pieces
|
|
of changed code and save selected portions of the code to an editor to
|
|
make comments (horizontal diffs make reviewing much easier, especially
|
|
for a long list of files).
