A file comparison program written in Rust

WORK IN PROGRESS

Overview

This crate is a Rust port of the classic file comparison program originally implemented in C.

For a detailed description of the underlying algorithm, see:

  • Miller, W., and Myers, E. W. “A File Comparison Program.” Software: Practice & Experience 15, no. 11 (1985): 1025–1040.
  • Myers, E. W. “An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations.” Technical Report 85-6, Department of Computer Science, University of Arizona, 1985.

This crate is also my tribute to Eugene Myers for his influential work on diff algorithms, hence the name myers.
