Do you have any plans on how and when to move forward with this change? I am looking at what can be done to improve uutils' diff, and the huge allocation for the LCS table is the number 1 blocker to making it work with bigger files. You mentioned that you want to make this optional as it will have worse performance compared to the full LCS in some cases. Have you considered adding some optimizations and heuristics similar to those used by GNU diff to make it a good enough middle ground? Would you take patches for that? |
