libxdiff

Basic functionality to create difference/patches in binary and text

The LibXDiff library implements basic and yet complete functionalities to create file differences/patches to both binary and text files. The library uses memory files as file abstraction to achieve both performance and portability. For binary files, LibXDiff implements both (with some modification) the algorithm described in File System Support for Delta Compression by Joshua P. MacDonald, and the algorithm described in Fingerprinting By Random Polynomials by Michael O. Rabin. While for text files it follows directives described in An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations by Eugene W. Myers. This is a merged fork of the forks of the original libxdiff (0.23) found in the git and libgit2 source code, converted into a shared library.
