;;; Commentary:
;;  ----------

;; Never read those diff(1) outputs again!
;; Apply patch(1) selectively, like a pro!

;; This package provides a convenient way of simultaneous brousing through
;; the differences between a pair of files or buffers.  The two files being
;; compared (file-A and file-B) are shown in separate windows (side by
;; side, one above the another, or in separate frames), and the differences
;; are highlighted as you step through them.  You can also copy difference
;; regions from one buffer to another (and recover old differences if you
;; change your mind).

;; In addition, Ediff can apply a patch to a file and then let you step
;; though both files, the patched and the original one, simultateously,
;; difference-by-difference.  You can even apply a patch right out of a
;; mail buffer, i.e., patches received by mail don't even have to be saved.
;; Since Ediff lets you copy differences between buffers, you can, in
;; effect, apply patches selectively (i.e., you can copy a difference
;; region from file.orig to file, thereby undoing any particular patch that
;; you don't like).

;; This package is based on emerge.el.  It uses a few utilities and
;; variables defined there and several other Ediff's functions are
;; adaptations from emerge.el.

;; Ediff is complimentary to Emerge.  While Emerge is better at heavy-duty
;; tasks that involve merging of files, Ediff is by far superior
;; for browsing through files compared via diff(1) and for patching files
;; with patch(1).  Furthermore, I feel that Ediff is more convenient for
;; merging tasks where one of the files is a designated output.  This
;; situation arises while patching files or when comparing an old version
;; of a file with a newer version (in such cases, it is often desirable to
;; selectively revert some portions of the new file to its old state). 

;; This version of Ediff is much faster than the previous ones and than
;; Emerge (in Emacs 19.23, Emerge will become much faster as well).
;; The difference in startup time is dramatic for large files with many
;; differences.

;; Window configuration:
;; ----------------------

;; By default, Ediff sets things up in one frame, splitting it between a
;; small control window and the two windows for file-A and file-B.  The
;; split between these latter windows can be horizontal or vertical, which
;; can be changed interactively by hitting 's' while the cursor is in the
;; control window.
;;
;; In a multi-frame situation, Ediff would work as follows.  When it starts,
;; it will place the control window in the frame that was selected at the
;; time of the invocation.  If file-A or file-B is seen in one of the
;; frames, Ediff will leave it there.  If a file (A/B) is not visible in any
;; frame, Ediff will arrange that it will share a frame with the control
;; window. (If none of the files is visible, then both will share the
;; control window frame.) The same algorithm works when you hit 'c'
;; (ediff-recenter), 'p' (ediff-previous-difference), 'n', etc.
;;
;; Thus, you can compare files in one frame or in different frames.
;; The former is done by default, while the latter can be achieved by
;; arranging files A and B to be seen in different frames.  Ediff
;; respects these arrangements, automatically adapting itself to 
;; the multi-frame mode.


;; A note to heavy-duty users: 

;;  Ediff lets the user run multiple sessions at once, i.e., you can invoke
;;  Ediff on different functions several times in a row, without exiting
;;  the previous Ediff sessions. Different sessions may even operate on the
;;  same pair of files.  So, in principle, it is possible to do, say,
;;  pairwise comparison of three (or more) different files.  Each session
;;  would have its own *ediff-control* buffer and all the regarding a
;;  particular session is local to the associated *ediff-control* buffer.
;;  You can switch between sessions by suspending one session and then
;;  switching to another *ediff-control* buffer. (Different such buffers
;;  are distinguished by a numerical suffix, e.g., *ediff-control*<3>.)
;;  This, if you would like to compare three files pairwise, you can do
;;  this by preparing three different frames, each with its own control
;;  window.  (This would require a very wide screen, and I never claimed
;;  that such 3-way comparison is very easy to do.)
;;
;; If you need to conduct multiple Ediff sessions on the same file, one
;; thing should be kept in mind: each time you invoke Ediff on a buffer that
;; already participates in another Ediff session, that buffer should not
;; have any ASCII Ediff flags in it. (Highlighting with faces is OK.)  If
;; flags are not removed, difference overlays won't be set correctly
;; for the second invocation of Ediff.  The simplest way to remove ASCII
;; flags from an Ediff buffer is to switch to that buffer and try to insert
;; or delete something.  If ASCII flags have been inserted by an Ediff
;; session, Ediff will ignore this first editing operation, but it will
;; remove all flags and notify you that this buffer can now be edited.
;;
;; To rehighlight Ediff buffers, hit 'c' in ediff-control buffer.


;;; Remarks: 
;;  -------

;;  1. Ediff is unlikely to run under Emacs 18 without some further work.
;;  2. If running Lucid Emacs, Ediff requires at least version 19.9.
;;  3. I didn't test Ediff on FSF versions older than 19.19.
;;  4. The function vc-ediff requires the vc.el version that comes with
;;     Emacs 19.22.


;;; Installation and use:
;;  --------------------

;; You can invoke Ediff interactively using the following functions:
;;
;;  	    ediff-buffers   	    	    	 - compare buffers
;;  	    ediff   (alias for ediff-files)
;;  	    ediff-files   	    	    	 - compare files
;;  	    ediff-patch-file	    	    	 - patch file then compare
;;  	    epatch  (alias for ediff-patch-file)
;;  	    ediff-patch-buffer	    	    	 - patch buffer then compare
;;  	    vc-ediff 	    	    	    	 - compare buffer & version
;;  	    	    	    	    	    	   using vc.el package
;;  	    	    	    	    	           (Emacs 19.22 and up).
;;  	    rcs-ediff	    	    	    	 - same using rcs.el; rcs.el
;;  	    	    	    	    	    	   is not part of the
;;  	    	    	    	    	    	   standard Emacs distribution.
;;
;; There is also the function ediff-files-remote, which can be invoked only
;; from within another Emacs Lisp function, i.e., non-interactively.
;;
;; To use Ediff, put this in your .emacs file:
;;
;;  (autoload 'ediff-buffers "ediff" "Visual interface to diff(1)" t)
;;  (autoload 'ediff  "ediff"  "Visual interface to diff(1)" t)
;;  (autoload 'ediff-files "ediff" "Visual interface to diff(1)" t)
;;  (autoload 'ediff-files-remote "ediff" "Visual interface to diff(1)") 
;;  (autoload 'epatch  "ediff"  "Visual interface to patch(1)" t)
;;  (autoload 'ediff-patch-file "ediff" "Visual interface to patch(1)" t)
;;  (autoload 'ediff-patch-buffer "ediff" "Visual interface to patch(1)" t)
;;  (autoload 'vc-ediff "ediff"
;;  	    	    	"Interface to diff & version control via vc.el" t) 
;;  (autoload 'rcs-ediff "ediff"
;;  	    	    	 "Interface to diff & version control via rcs.el" t)
;;
;;
;; If you want Ediff to be loaded from the very beginning, you should have
;;
;;  (require 'ediff)
;;
;; in your .emacs file.  This way it is also easier to figure out changes
;; to the default Ediff setting, if such changes become necessary --- see
;; Customization.
;;

;;; Compilation
;;  -----------
;;
;; When you byte-compile Ediff, you will get some warnings about functions
;; being undefined.  These can be safely ignored.
;;
;;   Warning:
;;   =======
;;
;;    If you are using advice.el (directly or indirectly, via one of the
;;    other packages), Ediff may not compile properly.  In this case, you
;;    should do:
;;
;;    	  M-x ad-deactivate-all RET
;;
;;  	  M-x byte-compile-file RET ediff.el RET
;;
;;  	  M-x ad-activate-all RET
;;
;;    This precaution will not be needed starting with GNU Emacs 19.23 and
;;    Lucid Emacs 19.10, due to fixing a bug in advice.el.


;;; Customization:
;;  -------------

;; If you don't like the default setting, you can change it through the
;; various variables and hooks.  In particular, the following hooks are
;; available: 

;;	    ediff-load-hooks
;;  	    ediff-before-setup-windows-hooks
;;  	    ediff-startup-hooks
;;  	    ediff-select-hooks
;;  	    ediff-unselect-hooks
;;  	    ediff-suspend-hooks
;;  	    ediff-quit-hooks
;;  	    ediff-prepare-buffer-hooks

;; The hooks in ediff-load-hooks can be used to change defaults after Ediff
;; is loaded.
;; The hooks in ediff-before-setup-windows-hooks, ediff-suspend-hooks, and
;; ediff-quit-hooks can be used to save and then restore whatever window
;; configuration you want.  However, make sure you understand what you are
;; doing.  Many variables that drive Ediff are local to the different
;; *ediff-control* buffers.  Take a look at ediff-default-suspend-hook and
;; ediff-default-quit-hook to see what's involved.
;; The hooks in ediff-prepare-buffer-hooks are executed for each Ediff buffer
;; (A and B) right after these buffers are arranged.
;;
;; The second group of Ediff variables that could be changed, if you so
;; wish, is: 
;;
;;  	    ediff-before-flag-eol
;;  	    ediff-after-flag-eol
;;  	    ediff-before-flag-mol
;;  	    ediff-after-flag-mol
;;
;;  	    ediff-current-diff-face-A
;;  	    ediff-current-diff-face-B
;;  	    ediff-even-diff-face-A
;;  	    ediff-even-diff-face-B
;;  	    ediff-odd-diff-face-A
;;  	    ediff-odd-diff-face-B
;
;; The first four are ASCII strings that mark the beginning and the end of
;; the differences found in file-A and file-B. Ediff uses different flags
;; to highlight regions that begin/end at the beginning of a line or in a
;; middle of a line.

;; The rest are the faces used to highlight text on X displays.  On X
;; displays, Ediff uses ediff-current-diff-face-A and
;; ediff-current-diff-face-B to highlight the current difference regions.
;; Other (non-current) difference regions are displayed in alternating
;; faces: ediff-even/odd-diff-face-A/B. (In GNU Emacs, the odd and the even
;; faces are actually identical on monochrome displays, because it is
;; rather poor in what you can do on such a display. So, I chose to use
;; italics to highlight other differences. Any ideas would be welcome. In
;; Lucid Emacs, the situation is better because it supports pixmaps.)
;; There are two ways to change the default setting for highlighting faces:
;; either change the variables, as in
;;
;; (setq ediff-current-diff-face-A (internal-get-face 'bold-italic))
;;
;; (`internal-get-face' should be `get-face' if you are using Lucid Emacs)
;; or by selectively modifying the defaults:
;;
;; (add-hook 'ediff-load-hooks
;;   (function (lambda () 
;;                (set-face-foreground ediff-current-diff-face-B "blue")
;;                (set-face-background ediff-current-diff-face-B "red")
;;                (make-face-italic ediff-current-diff-face-B))))
;;
;; You may also want to take a look at how the above faces are defined in
;; Ediff. 
;;
;; The last pair of variables in this group,
;;
;;  	    ediff-want-faces
;;  	    ediff-highlight-selected-only
;;
;; indicate whether---on a window system---you want differences to be
;; marked using ASCII strings (like on a dumb terminal) or using colors and
;; highlighting. If ediff-want-faces is t, then highlighting with faces is
;; used. Normally, Ediff highlights all differences, but the selected
;; difference is highlighted more visibly. If you prefer that unselected
;; differences won't be highlighted, you can set
;; ediff-highlight-selected-only to t.
;;
;; If you plan on changing these variables, they must be set
;; BEFORE ediff.el is loaded. 
;;
;; Note: Ediff lets you switch between the two types of highlighting.  That
;; is you can switch, interactively, from highlighting using faces to
;; highlighting using ASCII flags, and back.  Of course, toggling has
;; effect only on a window system.  On a dumb terminal or in an xterm
;; window, the only available option is highlighting with ASCII flags.
;;
;; The third group of variables controls miscellaneous functions:
;;
;;  	    ediff-patch-program
;;  	    ediff-patch-options
;;  	    ediff-diff-program
;;  	    ediff-diff-options
;;
;; These specify the functions that produce differences and do patching.
;; The *-options variables specify which options to pass to these programs.
;; It is unlikely that you would want to change these.  One possible
;; exception is when you may want to generate differences with context
;; lines in order to send a patch file through email.  Then, you might want
;; to set ediff-diff-options to '-c'. Sometimes, you may also want to tell
;; diff(1) to ignore spaces and such. Use the option '-w' for that. Diff(1)
;; has several other useful options (type 'man diff' to find out).
;;
;; The output from diff(1) is found in *ediff-diff* buffer.  However, this
;; makes sense only if you also intend to use Ediff to browse through the
;; diff'ed files before sending the patch.  This is because diff.el is much
;; faster in yielding the output of diff(1) ;; (Ediff is a big gun, if used
;; for this simple purpose).
;;
;; The last set of variables that can be modified is
;;
;;  	    ediff-split-window-function
;;  	    ediff-use-last-dir
;;  	    ediff-nix-help-in-control-buffer
;;
;; ediff-split-window-function controls the way you want the window be
;; split between file-A and file-B.  It defaults to vertical split, but you
;; can set it to 'split-window-horizontally, if you want.  Ediff lets you
;; toggle the way windows are split, so you can try different settings
;; interactively.  Note: if file-A and file-B are in different frames,
;; windows are not split, regardless of the value
;; ediff-split-window-function.  Instead, other windows on these frames are
;; deleted and Ediff starts displaying file-A and file-B using these two
;; frames, one file per frame.  You can then switch to one-frame mode
;; simply by hiding the file-A/B buffer that is displayed on a frame other
;; than the control-window frame.
;;
;; Note that if Ediff sees that the two buffers it compares are residing in
;; separate frames, it assumes that the user wants them to be so displayed
;; and stops splitting windows.  Instead, it will arrange each buffer to
;; occupy its own frame (possibly shared with Ediff's help window).
;;
;; The variable ediff-use-last-dir controls the way Ediff presents the
;; default directory when it prompts the user for files to compare.  If nil,
;; Ediff will use the default directory of the current buffer when it
;; prompts the user for file names.  Otherwise, it will use the
;; directories it had previously used for file-A and file-B. 
;;
;; The ediff-nix-help-in-control-buffer, if set to t, makes C-h behave like
;; the DEL key, i.e., it will move you back to the previous difference
;; rather than invoking help.  This is useful when, in an xterm window or on
;; a dumb terminal, the Backspace key is bound to C-h and is positioned
;; more conveniently than the DEL key.


;;; Commands
;;  --------

;; All Ediff commands are displayed in a help window, unless you hit '?' to
;; shrink it to just one line.  You can redisplay the help window by hitting
;; '?' again.
;;
;; Many Ediff commands take numeric prefix arguments.  For instance, if you
;; hit a number, n, and then 'j' (ediff-jump-to-difference), Ediff will
;; take you to n-th difference.  Hitting a number, n, and then 'ab'
;; (ediff-diff-to-diff) will copy n-th difference from buffer A to buffer B.
;; Hitting 'ba' does copying in the other direction.
;; Likewise, a number, n, followed by 'ra' will restore the n-th difference
;; region in buffer A (if it was previously saved as a result of copying
;; from B to A). 
;;
;; Without the prefix argument, all commands operate on the current
;; difference region.
;;
;; The total number of differences and the current difference number are
;; always displayed in the mode line of the control window. 

;;; Display Modes
;;  -------------

;; Ediff can display files in one frame, stacked side-by-side or one on top
;; of another; or it can display the files in different frames.  When you
;; start Ediff, it assumes a 1-frame mode.  You can toggle the side-by-side
;; and one-on-top-of-another displays by simply hitting 's'.
;;
;; Ediff switches to the multi-frame mode when:
;;
;;  1. file-A and file-B are in different frames (you have to put them into
;;     different frames manually); or
;;  2. *ediff-control* buffer is visible in one frame and one other file (A
;;     or B) is visible in another frame.  If, say, fileA is visible in a
;;     different frame than *ediff-control*, fileB doesn't have to be
;;     visible.  If it is, Ediff will continue displaying fileB in the frame
;;     where it was visible before.  If it isn't then Ediff will arrange for
;;     fileB to share a frame with *ediff-control*.
;;
;;  If all three buffers are in separate frames, Ediff will switch to a
;;  3-frame mode.  If Ediff buffers are currently visible only in two
;;  frames, Ediff will work in a 2-frame mode.  In this mode, one of the
;;  frames will be shared by *ediff-control* and file-A or file-B
;;  (whichever is appropriate).


;;; Bugs:
;;  ----

;;  1. The undo command doesn't restore deleted regions well. That is, if
;;  you delete all characters in a difference region and then invoke
;;  `undo', the reinserted text will most likely be reinserted outside of
;;  what Ediff thinks is the current difference region. This bug seems to
;;  be present only in GNU Emacs. Lucid Emacs does fine in this respect.

;;  2. You may get an error if your colormap doesn't have the colors requested
;;  by Ediff (on a color display). If this happens, you should create your 
;;  own faces using available colors. See `ediff-current-diff-face-A',
;;  ediff-current-diff-face-B, ediff-even-diff-face-A, ediff-even-diff-face-B,
;;  ediff-odd-diff-face-A, and ediff-odd-diff-face-B to get an idea on how
;;  to do this.


;;; Change Log:
;;  ----------

;; Thu Feb  3, 1994 

;;     Added ediff-read-file-name, which is a stub that takes care of Lemacs
;;     versions of Emerge. (Thanks to Alastair Burt <[e-mail]>.)
;;
;;     Fixed a bug in ediff-setup-windows that caused control window to
;;     appear in a wrong place when split-window-keep-point is nil
;;     (Thanks to Kevin Broadey <[e-mail]>.)
;;
;;     Added mechanism for using faces instead of before/after flags.  This
;;     looks much better on an X display, especially on a color one.
;;     (Thanks to Boris Goldowsky <[e-mail]> for the code
;;     that led to ediff-highlight-diff.
;;     Also, thanks to Kevin Esler <[e-mail]> for suggestions
;;     regarding highlighting differences on X displays.)
;;
;;     Added functions to apply patches.
;;     (Thanks to Kevin Broadey <[e-mail]> for this
;;     suggestion.)

;; Fri Feb  4, 1994 

;;     Added mechanism for toggling vertical/horizontal window split.
;;     (Inspired by a suggestion from Allan Gottlieb
;;     <[e-mail]> -- thanks.)
;;
;;     Added mechanism for toggling between highlighting using faces and
;;     highlighting using ASCII flags.
;;
;;     Fixed a problem with undo.  Now, Ediff has smartened up and doesn't
;;     keep undo info on ASCII flags inserted in buffer-A and buffer-B.
;;     So, if you edit the files while browsing through them, undo behaves
;;     as you would expect, i.e., faces/flags don't get in the way.

;; Sun Feb  6, 1994 

;;     Added horizontal scrolling.  Added ediff-position-region to ensure
;;     that difference regions in buffer-A and buffer-B are aligned with
;;     each other.  Disabled ediff-toggle-split when buffers are displayed
;;     in different frames.

;; Mon Feb  7, 1994

;;     Added toggle-window help (Suggested by Boris Goldowsky
;;     <[e-mail]>.)
;;     Added functions to copy differences from one buffer to another and to
;;     recover old differences.
;;     Added prefix arguments to ediff-next-difference and
;;     ediff-previous-difference.

;; Tue Feb  8, 1994

;;     Replaced text properties with overlays.  Fixed ediff-setup-windows.
;;     Added ediff-save-buffer to local-write-file-hooks to prevent user
;;     from saving corrupted states. (Thanks to <[e-mail]>
;;     for suggestion.)  Instead, Ediff now has a pair of functions for
;;     safe saving of buffers. 
;;     Changed ediff-read-file-name to be more intuitive on ediff-files.
;;     Added ediff-prepare-buffer-hooks. (Thanks to Kevin Esler
;;     <[e-mail]> for the idea.)

;; Wed Feb  9, 1994

;;     Cleanups in ediff-patch-file.  Protected ediff-copy-diff against
;;     a bug that Emacs has in kill-region.

;; Thu Feb 10, 1994

;;     Added support for Lemacs. (Thanks to Alastair Burt
;;     <[e-mail]> for coercing Ediff into working under Lemacs.)
;;     Added ediff-kill-buffer-carefully and other suggestions by Boris
;;     Goldowsky <[e-mail]>.
;;     Refined the protection against interference with highlighting caused
;;     by Hilit19.  Added the variable ediff-third-party-highlighting.
;;     Added mechanisn for unhighlighting regions highlighted with Hilit19
;;     before hightlighting them with Ediff's overlays. (And for
;;     rehighlighting them with Hilit19, when the current difference moves on.)

;; Sun Feb 13, 1994

;;     Added ediff-place-flags-in-buffer and ediff-remote-exit, which are
;;     modifications of Emerge's similar functions.  The difference is that
;;     in Ediff they make ediff-before-flag and ediff-after-flag into
;;     read-only regions, so the user can't change them by mistake.
;;
;;     Adopted a suggestion by Boris Goldowsky <[e-mail]>
;;     that led to a more elegant treatment of faces.
;;
;;     Added protection against interference with Font-Lock highlighting
;;     similar to that of Hilit19's protection.

;; Tue Feb 15, 1994

;;     Deleted spurious (auto-save-mode 1) in ediff-control-buffer, which
;;     was causing this buffer to be auto-saved for no good reason.
;;     Added read-only protection to ediff-before/after-flags in Lemacs.
;;     (Thanks to Alastair Burt <[e-mail]> for help in testing.)

;; Wed Feb 16, 1994

;;     Further fixes in the Lemacs part.  Changed highlighted region in
;;     ediff-highlight-diff so that an extra character will be highlighted
;;     only if a difference is empty (thereby allowing the user to see where an
;;     insertion or a deletion has taken place).
;;
;;     Simplified interaction with other highlighting packages by giving
;;     Ediff overlays the highest priority. (Taking a cue from
;;     ediff-highlight-diff-lemacs written by Alastair Burt
;;     <[e-mail]>.) Zapped ediff-third-party-highlighting
;;     variable and hooks that were previously used to
;;     unhighlight/rehighlight buffers when hilit19/font-lock are on.

;; Fri Feb 18, 1994

;;     Added a bit more sophistication to ediff-read-file-name.  Now,
;;     ediff-files remembers both, the file-A and the file-B directories.
;;     They are offered as defaults when ediff-use-last-dir is set to t.

;; Fri Feb 22, 1994

;;     Added ediff-before-change-guard to remove ASCII highlighting when
;;     the user attempts to change buffer-A/B.  This is needed because
;;     otherwise the undo info may become screwed up in those buffers.
;;     Hitting 'h' (ediff-toggle-hilit) on a dumb terminal will toggle
;;     between ASCII highlighting and no highlighting.

;; Fri Feb 24, 1994

;;     Fixed problems with multiple Ediff sessions running simultaneously.

;; Tue Mar 1, 1994

;;     Added vc-ediff, the Ediff interface to vc.el. (Thanks to Eric
;;     Freudenthal <[e-mail]> for contributing this
;;     function.) 

;; Sun Mar 6, 1994

;;     Added rcs-ediff, an Ediff interface to RCS via rcs.el. (Thanks to
;;     Alastair Burt  <[e-mail]>.)
;;     Some minor improvements.

;; Tue March 15, 1994

;;     Fixed a buglet in defining ediff-current-diff-face-A/B.

;; Tue March 22, 1994

;;     Fixed a bug with ediffing narrowed buffers, reported by Kevin
;;     Broadey <[e-mail]>.
;;     Made Ediff to work with files that have incomplete last line.
;;     Made Ediff execute diff(1) and patch(1) using Bourne Shell, which
;;     should eliminate problems with $prompt that some people had.

;; Thu March 24, 1994

;;     Achieved quadratic speedup in the size of the file by replacing the
;;     slow goto-line by forward-line.  Ediff is now *much* faster than
;;     Emerge on large files.  Converted demarkation of difference regions
;;     from markers to overlays.  This will later allow us to highlight all
;;     diffs, not just the current one.

;; Wed March 30, 1994

;;     Under X, Ediff now highlights all differences in dim colors and the
;;     current difference in bright colors. Improved Lucid Emacs support.

;; Thu March 31, 1994

;;     Changed toggle hilit to cycle through 3 states: highlighting all
;;     diffs, highlighting only the current diff, and highlighting using
;;     ASCII flags.
;;     Added support for difference regions that are not full lines.

;; Fri April 1, 1994

;;     Fixed bugs related to writing buffers A and B.
;;     Added commands 'ga', 'gb' to jump directly to the closest diff in
;;     buffer A and B, respectively.
