Well, I just subscribed the other day to ask a question. :)  So I'll ask
and see if I get any response.

wrt shutting down the list, it's not my project, and I'm not familiar
with the amount of overhead it takes to manage a subscribe-to-post
mailinglist.  I imagine it's a lot less than fighting forum spam.  If
you guys want to shut it down, that'd be unfortunate, but ultimately you
are the guys maintaining it.

At any rate my question is with radiff2.  Currently, I use a script I
wrote, objdiff (./scripts/objdiff in the Linux source tree) to verify
that a large amount of whitespace change done by a git commit didn't
change the generated object file(s).  I work around offset changes by
simply removing the addresses from the output of objdump.  Not the most
graceful method.

You can see a post where I walked through an example use-case here [2].

The other day I saw the blog post [1], which showed off the new graphviz
capability of radiff2.  Really neat!  Would you guys be willing to
accept patches that would basically create an output format similar to
diff?  eg, instructions removed in red, added in green, and moved in
yellow?  Or, did I just miss an already existing capability?

The graphviz functionality is great, with the exception that it a) isn't
console text (not easy to paste into an email), and b) it only shows one
half of the change depending on the order of the objects being compared.


thx,

Jason.
