Diff tool that compares methods directly (ignores reordering)?
Let's say I have this source file that has been modified:
Before:
public class MyClass {
public void bar() {
System.out.println("bar");
}
public void foo() {
System.out.println("foo");
}
}
After:
public class MyClass {
public void foo() {
System.out.println("foobar");
}
public void bar() {
System.out.println("bar");
}
}
Most diff tools report that the old foo method was removed and a new foo method was added when in reality it was simply moved to a different location and updated. Are there any comparison tools that can intelligently recognize that a method has been moved and compare different sections of the method, instead of reporting that the entire section of code has been removed or added?
