Here is another place where diff can be improved:
@@ -141,8 +140,9 @@ My_runops(pTHX)
// Do not trace variables in DB:: module
if( SvOK( inDB ) ) continue;
- sv_inc_nomg( inDB );
+ // save_item( inDB );
+ sv_inc_nomg( inDB );
dSP; SINFO; SAVETMPS;
// printf( "SWITCH\n" );
This would be better it the patch looks like:
( this patch is manually created just to light the idea. It may contain errors)
@@ -140,6 +140,7 @@ My_runops(pTHX)

-
dSP; SINFO; SAVETMPS;
As we can see, here the `sv_inc_nomg( inDB );` line is unchanged and `//
save_item( inDB );` is added.
Here we just add/remove empty lines and patch looks more better.
I think (and this is my assumption), the the diff algorithm should take into
account the string length.
This is more better to add/remove more short lines
