- All Known Implementing Classes:
DefaultDiffEngine
public interface IDiffEngine
This class defines the general contract of a Differencing engine. We expect subclasses to have a public, no-argument default constructor for instantiation.We generally expect that a call to
#diff(Comparison)
will complete every singleMatch
it finds with all differences that can be detected on its sides. The diff engine is not expected to detect conflicts, equivalences or dependencies between different diffs, these will be detected later on.Clients can also subclass the
default implementation

void diff(Comparison comparison, Monitor monitor)
This is the entry point of the differencing process.It will complete the input
comparison
by iterating over thematches
it contain, filling in the differences it can detect for each distinct Match.- Parameters:
comparison
- The comparison this engine is expected to complete.monitor
- The monitor to report progress or to check for cancellation.
