Re: compare code block(s)

[Adam Krolnik <adam krolnik verisilicon com>]

How about having meld be able to detect the movement of blocks of code and show those differences.

I.e. for two files

a               b

blk1            blk2
blk2            blk1

Meld could report a movement rather than one deletion (in file a) and one addition (in file b).

I've been able to "help" meld do this by (temporary) inserting some unique text ( e.g. '%%%&&&%%%') in both files ... some times you have to save and reload too

I'd also like a feature like this.
Mostly because I have a (bad?) habit of changing the order of functions around in source files, or copying functions between files.

A relatively easy way to implement this would be a right click to add a synchronisation point and than let meld search for a similar line in the other file and also add a synchronisation point in that file.

The "ignore the rest" part I can add easily in my own brain. :-)
