# ndiff.py is now simply a front-end to the difflib.ndiff() function.
# Originally, it contained the difflib.SequenceMatcher class as well.
# This completes the raiding of reusable code from this formerly

# SequenceMatcher tries to compute a "human-friendly diff" between
# two sequences (chiefly picturing a file as a sequence of lines,
# and a line as a sequence of characters, here). Unlike e.g. UNIX(tm)
# diff, the fundamental notion is the longest *contiguous* & junk-free
# matching subsequence. That's what catches peoples' eyes. The
# Windows(tm) windiff has another interesting notion, pairing up elements
# that appear uniquely in each sequence. That, and the method here,
# appear to yield more intuitive difference reports than does diff. This
# method appears to be the least vulnerable to synching up on blocks
# of "junk lines", though (like blank lines in ordinary text files,
# or maybe "<P>" lines in HTML files). That may be because this is
# the only method of the 3 that has a *concept* of "junk" <wink>.
#
# Note that ndiff makes no claim to produce a *minimal* diff. To the
# contrary, minimal diffs are often counter-intuitive, because they
# synch up anywhere possible, sometimes accidental matches 100 pages
# apart. Restricting synch points to contiguous matches preserves some
# notion of locality, at the occasional cost of producing a longer diff.
#
# With respect to junk, an earlier version of ndiff simply refused to
# *start* a match with a junk element. The result was cases like this:
# before: private Thread currentThread;
# after: private volatile Thread currentThread;
# If you consider whitespace to be junk, the longest contiguous match
# not starting with junk is "e Thread currentThread". So ndiff reported
# that "e volatil" was inserted between the 't' and the 'e' in "private".
# While an accurate view, to people that's absurd. The current version
# looks for matching blocks that are entirely junk-free, then extends the
# longest one of those as far as possible but only with matching junk.
# So now "currentThread" is matched, then extended to suck up the
# preceding blank; then "private" is matched, and extended to suck up the
# following blank; then "Thread" is matched; and finally ndiff reports
# that "volatile " was inserted before "Thread". The only quibble
# remaining is that perhaps it was really the case that " volatile"
# was inserted after "private". I can live with that <wink>.
#
# NOTE on junk: the module-level names
# IS_LINE_JUNK
# IS_CHARACTER_JUNK
# can be set to any functions you like. The first one should accept
# a single string argument, and return true iff the string is junk.
# The default is whether the regexp r"\s*#?\s*$" matches (i.e., a
# line without visible characters, except for at most one splat).
# The second should accept a string of length 1 etc. The default is
# whether the character is a blank or tab (note: bad idea to include
# newline in this!).
#
# After setting those, you can call fcompare(f1name, f2name) with the
# names of the files you want to compare. The difference report
# is sent to stdout. Or you can call main(args), passing what would
# have been in sys.argv[1:] had the cmd-line form been used.
