Text_Diff_Engine_native::_compareseq() │ public │ WP 1.0

Finds LCS of two sequences.

The results are recorded in the vectors $this->{x,y}changed[], by storing a 1 in the element for each line that is an insertion or deletion (ie. is not in the LCS).

The subsequence of file 0 is (XOFF, XLIM) and likewise for file 1.

Note that XLIM, YLIM are exclusive bounds. All line numbers are origin-0 and discarded lines are not counted.

Method of the class: Text_Diff_Engine_native{}

No Hooks.

Return

null. Nothing (null).
