[Tiger-devel] [PATCH] difflog doesn't recognize '#else /*TIGERCHANGES */' on linux

[Nicolas François]

Hello,

difflog can fail to recognize OLD and NEW lines.

-- 21_difflogs_diff_differ_between_linux_and_solaris.patch -------------
output of diff -D${SPC}TIGERCHANGES changes between Linux and SunOS

Note 1: diff output on linux and solaris:
   echo 1 > test1; echo 2 > test2
   diff -D TIGERCHANGES test1 test2

   debian sid:
     #ifndef TIGERCHANGES
     1
     #else /* TIGERCHANGES */
     2
     #endif /* TIGERCHANGES */

   on solaris:
     #ifndef TIGERCHANGES
     1
     #else TIGERCHANGES
     2
     #endif TIGERCHANGES
Note 2: example of difflogs' output
   OLD: --WARN-- ...
   #else /* TIGERCHANGES */
   OLD: --FAIL-- ...

instead of:
   OLD: --WARN-- ...
   NEW: --FAIL-- ...

Note 3: diff --old-line-format="OLD: %L" and --new-line-format="OLD: %L"
could be used, but it's probably not portable.
