/* The basic idea is to consider two vectors as similar if, when
transforming the first vector into the second vector through a
sequence of edits (inserts and deletes of one element each),
this sequence is short - or equivalently, if the ordered list
of elements that are untouched by these edits is long. For a
good introduction to the subject, read about the "Levenshtein
distance" in Wikipedia.
The basic algorithm is described in:
"An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and its Variations", Eugene W. Myers,
Algorithmica Vol. 1, 1986, pp. 251-266,
<http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/BF01840446>.
See especially section 4.2, which describes the variation used below.
The basic algorithm was independently discovered as described in:
"Algorithms for Approximate String Matching", Esko Ukkonen,
Information and Control Vol. 64, 1985, pp. 100-118,
<http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0019-9958(85)80046-2>.
Unless the 'find_minimal' flag is set, this code uses the TOO_EXPENSIVE
heuristic, by Paul Eggert, to limit the cost to O(N**1.5 log N)
at the price of producing suboptimal output for large inputs with
many differences. */
/* Before including this file, you need to define:
ELEMENT The element type of the vectors being compared.
EQUAL A two-argument macro that tests two elements for
equality.
OFFSET A signed integer type sufficient to hold the
difference between two indices. Usually
something like ptrdiff_t.
EXTRA_CONTEXT_FIELDS Declarations of fields for 'struct context'.
NOTE_DELETE(ctxt, xoff) Record the removal of the object xvec[xoff].
NOTE_INSERT(ctxt, yoff) Record the insertion of the object yvec[yoff].
EARLY_ABORT(ctxt) (Optional) A boolean expression that triggers an
early abort of the computation.
USE_HEURISTIC (Optional) Define if you want to support the
heuristic for large vectors.
It is also possible to use this file with abstract arrays. In this case,
xvec and yvec are not represented in memory. They only exist conceptually.
In this case, the list of defines above is amended as follows:
ELEMENT Undefined.
EQUAL Undefined.
XVECREF_YVECREF_EQUAL(ctxt, xoff, yoff)
A three-argument macro: References xvec[xoff] and
yvec[yoff] and tests these elements for equality.
Before including this file, you also need to include:

When the two searches meet, we have found the midpoint of the shortest
edit sequence.
If FIND_MINIMAL is true, find the minimal edit script regardless of
expense. Otherwise, if the search is too expensive, use heuristics to
stop the search and report a suboptimal answer.
Set PART->(xmid,ymid) to the midpoint (XMID,YMID). The diagonal number
XMID - YMID equals the number of inserted elements minus the number
of deleted elements (counting only elements before the midpoint).
Set PART->lo_minimal to true iff the minimal edit script for the
left half of the partition is known; similarly for PART->hi_minimal.
This function assumes that the first elements of the specified portions
of the two vectors do not match, and likewise that the last elements do not
match. The caller must trim matching elements from the beginning and end
of the portions it is going to specify.
If we return the "wrong" partitions, the worst this can do is cause
suboptimal diff output. It cannot cause incorrect diff output. */
