Jeff King	3dbfe2b8ae	diff-highlight: avoid highlighting combined diffs The algorithm in diff-highlight only understands how to look at two sides of a diff; it cannot correctly handle combined diffs with multiple preimages. Often highlighting does not trigger at all for these diffs because the line counts do not match up. E.g., if we see: - ours -theirs ++resolved we would not bother highlighting; it naively looks like a single line went away, and then a separate hunk added another single line. But of course there are exceptions. E.g., if the other side deleted the line, we might see: - ours ++resolved which looks like we dropped " ours" and added "+resolved". This is only a small highlighting glitch (we highlight the space and the "+" along with the content), but it's also the tip of the iceberg. Even if we learned to find the true content here (by noticing we are in a 3-way combined diff and marking _two_ characters from the front of the line as uninteresting), there are other more complicated cases where we really do need to handle a 3-way hunk. Let's just punt for now; we can recognize combined diffs by the presence of extra "@" symbols in the hunk header, and treat them as non-diff content.

Jeff King	1b5290b125	diff-highlight: add multi-byte tests Now that we have a test suite for diff highlight, we can show off the improvements from `8d00662` (diff-highlight: do not split multibyte characters, 2015-04-03). While we're at it, we can also add another case that _doesn't_ work: combining code points are treated as their own unit, which means that we may stick colors between them and the character they are modifying (with the result that the color is not shown in an xterm, though it's possible that other terminals err the other way, and show the color but not the accent). There's no fix here, but let's document it as a failure. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	9 years ago

Kyle J. McKay	8d00662d7d	diff-highlight: do not split multibyte characters When the input is UTF-8 and Perl is operating on bytes instead of characters, a diff that changes one multibyte character to another that shares an initial byte sequence will result in a broken diff display as the common byte sequence prefix will be separated from the rest of the bytes in the multibyte character. For example, if a single line contains only the unicode character U+C9C4 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x84) and that line is then changed to the unicode character U+C9C0 (encoded as UTF-8 0xEC, 0xA7, 0x80), when operating on bytes diff-highlight will show only the single byte change from 0x84 to 0x80 thus creating invalid UTF-8 and a broken diff display. Fix this by putting Perl into character mode when splitting the line and then back into byte mode after the split is finished. The utf8::xxx functions require Perl 5.8 so we require that as well. Also, since we are mucking with code in the split_line function, we change a '*' quantifier to a '+' quantifier when matching the $COLOR expression which has the side effect of speeding everything up while eliminating useless '' elements in the returned array.

Jeff King	bca45fbc1f	diff-highlight: allow configurable colors Until now, the highlighting colors were hard-coded in the script (as "reverse" and "noreverse"), and you had to edit the script to change them. This patch teaches diff-highlight to read from color.diff-highlight.* to set them. In addition, it expands the possiblities considerably by adding two features: 1. Old/new lines can be colored independently (so you can use a color scheme that complements existing line coloring). 2. Normal, unhighlighted parts of the lines can be colored, too. Technically this can be done by separately configuring color.diff.old/new and matching it to your diff-highlight colors. But you may want a different look for your highlighted diffs versus your regular diffs. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	10 years ago
John Szakmeister	251e7dad51	diff-highlight: exit when a pipe is broken While using diff-highlight with other tools, I have discovered that Python ignores SIGPIPE by default. Unfortunately, this also means that tools attempting to launch a pager under Python--and don't realize this is happening--means that the subprocess inherits this setting. In this case, it means diff-highlight will be launched with SIGPIPE being ignored. Let's work with those broken scripts by restoring the default SIGPIPE handler.

Jeff King	34d9819e0a	diff-highlight: match multi-line hunks Currently we only bother highlighting single-line hunks. The rationale was that the purpose of highlighting is to point out small changes between two similar lines that are otherwise hard to see. However, that meant we missed similar cases where two lines were changed together, like: -foo(buf); -bar(buf); +foo(obj->buf); +bar(obj->buf); Each of those changes is simple, and would benefit from highlighting (the "obj->" parts in this case). This patch considers whole hunks at a time. For now, we consider only the case where the hunk has the same number of removed and added lines, and assume that the lines from each segment correspond one-to-one. While this is just a heuristic, in practice it seems to generate sensible results (especially because we now omit highlighting on completely-changed lines, so when our heuristic is wrong, we tend to avoid highlighting at all). Based on an original idea and implementation by Michał Kiedrowicz. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	13 years ago
Jeff King	6463fd7ed1	diff-highlight: refactor to prepare for multi-line hunks The current code structure assumes that we will only look at a pair of lines at any given time, and that the end result should always be to output that pair. However, we want to eventually handle multi-line hunks, which will involve collating pairs of removed/added lines. Let's refactor the code to return highlighted pairs instead of printing them.

Jeff King	097128d1bc	diff-highlight: don't highlight whole lines If you have a change like: -foo +bar we end up highlighting the entirety of both lines (since the whole thing is changed). But the point of diff highlighting is to pinpoint the specific change in a pair of lines that are mostly identical. In this case, the highlighting is just noise, since there is nothing to pinpoint, and we are better off doing nothing. The implementation looks for "interesting" pairs by checking to see whether they actually have a matching prefix or suffix that does not simply consist of colorization and whitespace. However, the implementation makes it easy to plug in other heuristics, too, like: 1. Depending on the source material, the set of "boring" characters could be tweaked to include language-specific stuff (like braces or semicolons for C). 2. Instead of saying "an interesting line has at least one character of prefix or suffix", we could require that less than N percent of the line be highlighted. The simple "ignore whitespace, and highlight if there are any matched characters" implemented by this patch seems to give good results on git.git. I'll leave experimentation with other heuristics to somebody who has a dataset that does not look good with the current code. Based on an original idea and implementation by Michał Kiedrowicz.
