I am writing a C program. What I have seen from my earlier experiences

  • 0

I am writing a C program. What I have seen from my earlier experiences is that I make some changes on a correct version of my program, and after that change, the program is computing incorrectly.

Now, for one occasion it may be easy to detect where I made that change and undo it or do it in some other way, and for other occasions I find it hard (with labor) to detect where exactly the problem is.

Can you suggest some platform or tool which allows you to put the new version and old version of the program side by side and mark the changes that were employed on the new version.

I am using gcc 4.3.2 to compile c programs on Ubuntu 10.04 OS.

Any suggestion is welcome.

regards,
Anup

    What you are requesting is some diff-like tool. There is a plethora of such tools, ranging from the diff command line utility to GUI frontend such as http://meld.sourceforge.net/. Most of these tools can be combined with (or have counterparts in) revision control systems as Subversion.
