Edit Question
Title
Body
Is there any diff/merge tool for programming languages, that works in a syntax-aware way (like XML Diff Tool), doing more than compare line-by-line (and optionally ignoring whitespace). I'm interested in a program actually following the language syntax and delimeters, suggesting changes without breaking syntactic correctness, or bundling statements separated over multiple lines. Example behavior would be: *upon finding an if(){ which introduces an extra nesting level automatically bundle the closing brace } several lines below with it.) *keep matching syntax elements together, avoid silliness like removing a block tends to create: int function_A() { int ret; ret = something; ret += something_else; return ret; } int function_B() { if(valid) { int ret; ret = something; ret += something_else; return ret; } else return -1; } Personally, I'd love to find software capable of handling C++ syntax, but knowing about solutions for other languages would be interesting too.
