I am working on an application suitable for visually merging large files.
This application delegates determination of differences to GNU diff.

Unfortunately I have found that diff reads the entire input files into
memory, leading to "/usr/bin/diff: memory exhausted" messages on the
types of files I'd like to support.

Would you be open to patches that enable diffing large files by using
mmap?

Kind regards,
Maurice.
