26 * Find the best match for a patch against a file. A patch is a
27 * sequence of chunks each of which is expected to match a particular
28 * locality of the file. So we expect big gaps between where chunks
29 * match, but only small gaps within chunks.
31 * The matching algorithm is similar to that in diff.c, so you should
32 * understand that first. However it takes fewer shortcuts and
33 * analyses cost in a more detailed way.
35 * We walk the whole matrix in a breadth first fashion following a
36 * 'front' on which x+y is constant. Along this front we examine each
37 * diagonal. For each point we calculate a 'value' for the match so
38 * far. This will be in some particular chunk. For each chunk we
39 * separately record the best value found so far, and where it was.
40 * To choose a new value for each point we calculate based on the
41 * previous value on each neighbouring diagonal and on this diagonal.
43 * This can result is a set of 'best' matches for each chunk which are
44 * not in the same order that the chunks initially were. This
45 * probably isn't desired, so we choose a 'best' best match and
46 * recurse on each side of it.
48 * The quality of a match is a somewhat complex function that is
49 * roughly 3 times the number of matching symbols minus the number
50 * of replaced, added, or deleted. This seems to work.
52 * For any point, the best possible score using that point
53 * is a complete diagonal to the nearest edge. We ignore points
54 * which cannot contibute to a better overall score.
56 * As this is a fairly expensive search we remove uninteresting
57 * symbols before searching. Specifically we only keep alphanumeric
58 * (plus '_') strings. Spaces and punctuation is ignored. This should
59 * contain enough information to achieve a reliable match while scanning
67 /* This structure keeps track of the current match at each point.
68 * It holds the start of the match as x,k where k is the
69 * diagonal, so y = x-k.
70 * Also the length of the match so far.
71 * If l == 0, there is no match.
74 int x
, y
; /* location of start of match */
75 int val
; /* value of match from x,y to here */
76 int k
; /* diagonal of last match - if val > 0 */
77 int inmatch
; /* 1 if last point was a match */
78 int c
; /* chunk number */
82 * Here we must determine the 'value' of a partial match.
83 * The input parameters are:
84 * length - the total number of symbols matched
85 * errs - the total number of insertions or deletions
86 * dif - the absolute difference between number of insertions and deletions.
88 * In general we want length to be high, errs to be low, and dif to be low.
89 * Particular questions that must be answered include:
90 * - When does adding an extra symbol after a small gap improve the match
91 * - When does a match become so bad that we would rather start again.
93 * We would like symmetry in our answers so that a good sequence with
94 * an out-rider on one end is evaluated the same as a good sequence
95 * with an out-rider on the other end.
97 * However to do this we cannot really use the value of the good
98 * sequence to weigh in the out-riders favour as in the case of a
99 * leading outrider, we do not yet know the value of the good
102 * First, we need an arbitrary number, X, to say "Given a single
103 * symbol, after X errors, we forget that symbol". 5 seems a good
106 * Next we need to understand how replacements compare to insertions
107 * or deletions. Probably a replacement is the same cost as an
108 * insertion or deletion. Finally, a few large stretches are better
109 * then lots of little ones, so the number of disjoint stretches
110 * should be kept low.
113 * The first match sets the value to 6.
114 * Each consecutive match adds 3
115 * A non-consecutive match which value is still +ve adds 2
116 * Each non-match subtracts one unless it is the other half of a replacement.
117 * A value of 0 causes us to forget where we are and start again.
119 * We need to not only assess the value at a particular location, but
120 * also assess the maximum value we could get if all remaining symbols
121 * matched, to help exclude parts of the matrix. The value of that
122 * possibility is 6 times the number of remaining symbols, -1 if we
