![]() Īnd yet more! I don't know much about the other diff tools as listed on But I prefer DiffMerge as it sticks firmly to the KISS principle. Araxis is very good, but you have to pay for it (the standard version costs about 100 quid / 150 bucks / 110 euros. The only others I've used are WinDiff (which I only use for bulk file synchronization these days) and Araxis Merge. Apparently the next version of this tool will be cross-platform, implemented using Qt.Īnd more. This tool has been about from before 2003 (version 1.0 was about even earlier, but I don't know how popular it was back then. The other tool which is popular in the Windows world is WinMerge 2.0, but I find it a bit fussy. I am currently using it with both SVN and Perforce (I find Perforce's own tools a buit cluttered). In addition to this diff capability, DiffMerge can be used as a merge tool. SCM Like most other modern diff tools, DiffMerge can be used to diff against a source control system. It also runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, so I can use the same tool on Windows and Ubuntu, and it's free! I like it because it isn't fussy, doing what I need and no more, and because it formats code diffs reasonably cleanly. I have been using this tool since not long after version 3.0 was released (in 2007). ![]() I don't know much about it, but I have seen favourable comments about it in the newsgroups).ĭiffMerge!! My tool of choice at the moment is SourceGear DiffMerge, a new, minor release of which came out just a month ago. ![]() And then, when they finally "release", compare these against their working version, to get a better handle on what was going on (or not) earlier on.Īwareness? There was only one post I could find and it bemused me as it was recommending WinDiff in 2008! (Another tool, Beyond Compare, was also mentioned. ![]() They could set aside copies of their work as they progress, after each attempt at a problem. Learning! I think they would prove useful to people learning C++. Now maybe this site is quiet on the subject as everyone knows all about it. After all, they are one of the key tools in software development. Key! While I in the process of updating my diff tool, I had a look to see what had been mentioned about them on this site. This post is more of an awareness raising exercise than a personal request for info.
