No other diff program comes even close to BC in terms of diff output |
2 |
quality and merge capability. I am willing to go through much more hoops |
3 |
than this just to be able to use this under linux. |

And also, to avoid any misrepresentation, their support in determining |
6 |
the cause of the issue was very good. |

The problem seems to be that their linux build is using an older gcc |
9 |
version. This was causing an ABI related crash in the strstr function, |
10 |
which was using SSE instructions. |

So at some point, they will probably switch to a newer compiler and the |
13 |
problem will go away. But if I mail their support, it would take many |
14 |
messages until we come to the same page (the previous developer getting |
15 |
copied on it, he remembers the issue etc etc). It is much faster to just |
16 |
try it :) |
