From: Michael Montalbo Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 18:51:21 +0000 (+0000) Subject: xdiff: support external hunks via xpparam_t X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a410047a823fd80b9f7f176354faeabf6e8fbbd3;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git xdiff: support external hunks via xpparam_t Add two new xpparam_t fields (external_hunks, external_hunks_nr) that let callers supply pre-computed hunks. When set, xdl_diff() populates the changed[] arrays from these hunks instead of running the diff algorithm, then continues through compaction and emission as usual. Validate supplied hunks before use. Out-of-bounds line numbers, overlapping or out-of-order hunks, and misaligned unchanged runs are treated as a malformed tool response: xdl_populate_hunks_from_external() warns, returns -1, and xdl_diff() falls back to the builtin diff algorithm for that file. The run of unchanged lines between two hunks (and before the first and after the last) must be the same length on both sides; xdl_build_script() walks the two files in lockstep over unchanged lines, so a balanced total is not enough. Non-negative counts and 1-based starts are instead caller preconditions, checked with BUG(), since the caller normalizes hunks before this point. On rejection xdl_diff() frees the environment it prepared and falls through to xdl_do_diff(), which prepares a fresh one for the builtin pass. Skip trim_common_tail() in xdi_diff() when external hunks are present, since external hunks reference line numbers in the original content.
