Function diff_with_slider_heuristics 

pub fn diff_with_slider_heuristics<T: AsRef<[u8]>>(
    algorithm: Algorithm,
    input: &InternedInput<T>,
) -> Diff

Available on crate features blob and blob-experimental only.

Compute a diff with Git’s slider heuristics to produce more intuitive diffs.

This function uses imara-diff v0.2 which provides the v2::Diff structure that supports postprocessing with slider heuristics. The slider heuristics move diff hunks to more intuitive locations based on indentation and other factors, resulting in diffs that are more readable and match Git’s output more closely.

Examples

use gix_diff::blob::{diff_with_slider_heuristics, v2::{Algorithm, InternedInput}};

let before = "fn foo() {\n    let x = 1;\n}\n";
let after = "fn foo() {\n    let x = 2;\n}\n";

let input = InternedInput::new(before, after);
let diff = diff_with_slider_heuristics(Algorithm::Histogram, &input);

// The diff now has slider heuristics applied
assert_eq!(diff.count_removals(), 1);
assert_eq!(diff.count_additions(), 1);
