This directory contains an extensively modified version of Colin Percival's | |
bsdiff, available in its original form from: | |
http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/ | |
The basic principles of operation are best understood by reading Colin's | |
unpublised paper: | |
Colin Percival, Naive differences of executable code, http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/, 200 | |
The copy on this directory so extensively modified that the binary format is | |
incompatible with the original and it cannot be compiled outside the Chromium | |
source tree or the Courgette project. | |
List of changes made to original code: | |
- wrapped functions in 'courgette' namespace | |
- renamed .c files to .cc | |
- added bsdiff.h header file | |
- changed the code to use streams.h from courgette | |
- changed the encoding of numbers to use the 'varint' encoding | |
- reformatted code to be closer to Google coding standards | |
- renamed variables | |
- added comments |
