Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón 29a0f9038e xdiff: remove duplicate headers from xhistogram.c
8c912eea94 ("teach --histogram to diff", 2011-07-12) included them, but
were already part of xinclude.h

Stefan Beller 79cb2ebb92 xdiff/histogram: remove tail recursion
When running the same reproduction script as the previous patch,
it turns out the stack is too small, which can be easily avoided.

Stefan Beller 64c4e8bccd xdiff/xhistogram: move index allocation into find_lcs
This fixes a memory issue when recursing a lot, which can be reproduced as

    seq 1   100000 >one
    seq 1 4 100000 >two
    git diff --no-index --histogram one two

Before this patch, histogram_diff would call itself recursively before
calling free_index, which would mean a lot of memory is allocated during
the recursion and only freed afterwards. By moving the memory allocation
(and its free call) into find_lcs, the memory is free'd before we recurse,
such that memory is reused in the next step of the recursion instead of
using new memory.

This addresses only the memory pressure, not the run time complexity,
that is also awful for the corner case outlined above.

Helpful in understanding the code (in addition to the sparse history of
this file), was https://stackoverflow.com/a/32367597 which reproduces
most of the code comments of the JGit implementation.

Stefan Beller c671d4b599 xdiff/xhistogram: factor out memory cleanup into free_index()
This will be useful in the next patch as we'll introduce multiple
callers.

Stefan Beller 282098506f xdiff/xhistogram: pass arguments directly to fall_back_to_classic_diff
By passing the 'xpp' and 'env' argument directly to the function
'fall_back_to_classic_diff', we eliminate an occurrence of the 'index'
in histogram_diff, which will prove useful in a bit.

While at it, move it up in the file. This will make the diff of
one of the next patches more legible.

Junio C Hamano 307ab20b33 xdiff: PATIENCE/HISTOGRAM are not independent option bits
Because the default Myers, patience and histogram algorithms cannot be in
effect at the same time, XDL_PATIENCE_DIFF and XDL_HISTOGRAM_DIFF are not
independent bits.  Instead of wasting one bit per algorithm, define a few
macros to access the few bits they occupy and update the code that access
them.

Tay Ray Chuan 6486a84cb8 xdiff/xhistogram: drop need for additional variable
Having an additional variable (ptr) instead of changing line(1|2) and
count(1|2) was for debugging purposes.

Tay Ray Chuan 43ca7530df xdiff/xhistogram: rely on xdl_trim_ends()
Do away with reduce_common_start_end() and use xdf->dstart and xdf->dend
set by xdl_trim_ends() that similarly tells us where the first unmatched
line from the start and end occurs.

Tay Ray Chuan 19f7a9c577 xdiff/xhistogram: rework handling of recursed results
Previously we were over-complicating matters by trying to combine the
recursed results. Now, terminate immediately if a recursive call failed
and return its result.

Tay Ray Chuan 8c912eea94 teach --histogram to diff
Port JGit's HistogramDiff algorithm over to C. Rough numbers (TODO) show
that it is faster than its --patience cousin, as well as the default
Meyers algorithm.

The implementation has been reworked to use structs and pointers,
instead of bitmasks, thus doing away with JGit's 2^28 line limit.

We also use xdiff's default hash table implementation (xdl_hash_bits()
with XDL_HASHLONG()) for convenience.
