| Description: |
| 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/, 2003. |
| |
| 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 |
| - extracted qsufsort into qsufsort.h in 'courgette::qsuf' namespace |
| - added unit tests for qsufsort |
