Hi,
yeah, It will be symmetric. They are equivalence like this:
(*(long *)(old_buf + i)) == (*(long *)(new_buf + i))
!(xor = (*(long *)(old_buf + i)) ^ (*(long *)(new_buf + i)))
But the second is not efficient, IMHO. Because xbzrle assumes that most of
bytes in the dirty
page is not modified. The result of xor will be not useful mostly. ps: It's
just my idea.
