Raw Blame History

2017-03-19 Dick Grune <Gebruiker@GEBRUIKER-PC>
* c++lang.l contributed by Evin Murphy (evin.murphy@ucdconnect.ie).
2016-08-07 Dick Grune <Gebruiker@GEBRUIKER-PC>
* compare.c (lcs): Finding the text into which i1 points was done by
linear search. Replaced by binary search. This resulted in no direct
improvement but should be beneficial for very large numbers of files.
2016-08-05 Dick Grune
* hash.c (make_forward_references_perfect): This routine now
constructs perfect forward references. This allows the comparison code
in compare.c (lcs) to skip the first Min_Run_Size tokens when
comparing two chunks. This yields about 8% speed-up.
2016-08-03 Dick Grune
* hash.c (make_forward_references_using_hash): A lot of work was being
done to compute the hash value of a run, using sampling etc. A new
scheme was implemented in which the hash value consists of all tokens
in the run, each circularly left-shifted over a distance proportional
to its position in the run. This value can be computed incrementally
in constant time, by removing the oldest and adding the newest token
at each position.
Care had to be taken not to produce negative values for entities of
type size_t.
For moderately large comparisons (~ 10M tokens) this yields an
over-all speed-up of about 20%.
2016-05-29 Dick Grune
* pass3.c: Surprisingly, very large runs of the program can get out of
memory far into the computation, in spite of the fact that sim
allocates almost all its memory while reading the input. However, the
found runs of text are collected using Mallocked memory, for producing
sorted output. In many cases one would rather have unsorted output
than no output at all. Decided to implement the -u option, for
unsorted output, thus not using any additional memory.
2016-05-13 Dick Grune
* compare.c (lcs): the -X option works. It uses the linear algorithm
to compare a file F to two segments of the text: the segment from the
start of the text to the start of F, and from the end of F to the end
of the text. Runs found are then reported in percentages.
2016-05-06 Dick Grune
* compare.c: The results of the analysis in
Similarity_Percentage_Computation.tex have been implemented, and under
the -p option percentages are now computed consistently. In
particular, the files in the directory Contributors/Debora_Weber-Wulff/
yield the same relative percentages independent of the order they are
entered in; see Pfubar_shuffle and Pslash_shuffle. Note: both parts of
Pslash_shuffle were shuffled independently.
2016-04-10 Dick Grune
* runs.c: aiso (arbitrary in sorted out) package replaced by an
instantiation of the package sortlist.
2014-02-17 Dick Grune
* sim.c (is_new_old_separator): MinGW sometimes (?) interprets the /
as a command-line argument as a reference to the MinGW tree, which
makes the / unusable as a separator. Even escaping it ("/") does not
help. Added the | as a separator.
2014-01-26 Dick Grune
* %z from Marcus Brinkmann implemented by a routine size_t2string.
2014-01-26 Dick Grune
* Sizes on my present machine (HP 6730b laptop):
unsigned short int: 2
unsigned int: 4
unsigned long int: 4
unsigned long long int: 8
2013-05-31 Dick Grune
* (hash.c) Better hash2() function.
2013-04-28 Dick Grune
* Markus Brinkmann (marcus.brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de) supplied a
64-bit version. %z does not work on MinGW C.
2012-11-28 Dick Grune
* newargs.c (recursive_args): Liqun Chen (liqun.chen@hp.com)
submitted a bug report noting that the separator / is expanded under
the -R option. Corrected.
2012-09-30 Dick Grune
* pass2.c (pass2_txt): Boyd Blackwell (Boyd.Blackwell@anu.edu.au)
submitted a bug report in which the line numbers (and runs
representations) were way off (75 lines). The input files were
characterized by extremely long lines, hundreds of tokens (max. 521).
After 2.5 days of debugging the cause was found: 1. since the mapping
from token positions to line numbers is stored as the difference of
the token positions from one line to the next (see text.c); 2. since
these differences are stored in unsigned chars to save space; 3. since
the nl_buff mechanism is switched off when one of these unsigned
characters overflow; and since 521 tokens on one line overflowed this
unsigned char, the nl_buff mechanism was shut off.
Since when there is no nl_buff information in pass2, pass2 resorts to
rereading the input file calling yylex again; 2. since the preceding
file had few runs to find line number to, the preceding file was not
read to the end, and the rest remained in flex's buffer, so a portion
of the preceding file seemed prefixed to the present file, adding 75
lines to it.
Remedy: flushing flex's buffer explicitly in pass2_txt(); this is
simpler than using flex's YY_BUFFER_STATE mechanism.
Advice: get rid of the nl_buff mechanism; it is no longer relevant.
2012-06-09 Dick Grune
* lang.h:
The *lang.l files are unusual in two respects:
1. they present two interfaces to the rest of the system:
language.[ch], static data about the language, and lang.[ch], dynamic
data about the input file's content;
2. both interfaces come with multiple implementations, one for each
*lang.l file; i.e., they are abstract.
This has been sorted out with some difficulty.
2012-05-08 Dick Grune
* Changed to 16-bit tokens, for better resolution for sim_text and
on -F option, and for UTF-8 input.
It was not worth while to save the 8-bit token code: on serious
comparisons the increase in memory usage is about 10% (330 000 on a
maximum allocation of 3 030 976 for comparing the sources of MCD2).
2009-03-11 Dick Grune <dick@flits.few.vu.nl>
* newargs.c: added -R option to follow directories recursively.
See recursive_args().
2008-09-22 <Dick@ACER>
* added newargs.[ch], to supply file names from standard input,
for those compilers that do not have the @ facility. Implemented
without fixed limits.
2008-09-21 <Dick@ACER>
* changed default format back to original, and inverted the
-v(erbose) option into a -T(erse) option.
2008-03-31 Dick Grune <dick@flits.few.vu.nl>
* *.l: the following are not universally recognized; removed.
%option nounput
%option never-interactive
2008-03-31 <Dick@ACER>
Introduced aiso.* and Malloc.? as imported modules.
2007-11-21 Carlos Maziero <maziero@ppgia.pucpr.br>
- output format modified in order to facilitate "grep" filtering
- added option "-v" for a more verbose output
- added option "-tN" to define a threshold %N (only similarities
over N% are shown)
- fixed SEGV on writing to the output file
- the file list can be informed through STDIN (one file per line,
accepts "/" marker); this is useful for compilers that lack the
@ facility
2007-08-23 Dick Grune <dick@hydra.cs.vu.nl>
LICENSE.txt added.
2006-11-27 Dick Grune <dick@hydra.cs.vu.nl>
Removal of setbuff() for compatibility.
2005-01-17 Dick Grune <dick@blade014.cs.vu.nl>
Corrections by Jerry James <james@eecs.ku.edu>; ANSIizing, etc.
2004-08-05 Dick Grune <dick@blade014.cs.vu.nl>
Finished the 'percentage' option.
08-Nov-2001 Dick Grune
Begun to add a 'percentage' option, which will express the
similarity between two files in percents.
27-Sep-2001 Dick Grune
Split add_run() off from compare.c into add_run.c, to accommodate
different add_run()s, for different types of processing.
27-Nov-1998 Dick Grune
Installed a Miranda version supplied by Emma Norling (ejn@cs.mu.oz.au)
23-Feb-1998 Dick Grune
Renamed text.l to textlang.l for uniformity and to make room for
a possible module text.[ch].
Isolated a module for handling the token array from buff.[ch] to
tokenarray.[ch], and renamed buff.[ch] to text.[ch].
23-Feb-1998 Dick Grune
There is probably not much point in abandoning the nl_buff list
when running out of memory for TokenArray[]: each token costs 1
byte for the token and 4 bytes for the entry in
forward_references[], a total of 5 bytes. There are about 3
tokens to a line, together requiring 15 bytes, plus 1 byte in
nl_buff yields 16 bytes. So releasing nl_buff frees only 1/16 =
6.7 % of memory.
Since the code is a bother, I removed it. Note that nl_buff is
still abandoned when the number of tokens in a line does not fit
in one unsigned char (but that is not very likely to happen).
21-Feb-1998 Dick Grune
Printing got into an infinite loop when the last line of the
input was not terminated by a newline AND contained tokens that
were included in a matching run.
This was due to a double bug: 1. the non-terminated line was not
registered properly in NextTextTokenObtained() / CloseText(),
and 2. the loop in pass 2 which sets the values of
pos->ps_nl_cnt was terminated prematurely when the file turned
out to be shorter than the list of pos-es indicated.
Both bugs were corrected, the first by supplying an extra
newline in CloseText() when one is found missing, and the second
by rewriting the list-parallel loop in pass 2.
02-Feb-1998 Dick Grune
Pascal does not differentiate between strings and characters
(strings of one character); this difference has been removed
from pascallang.l.
22-Jan-1998 Dick Grune
Detection of non-ASCII characters added. Since the lexical
analyser itself generates non-ASCII characters, the test must occur
earlier. We could replace the input routine of lex by a
checking routine, but with several lex-es going around, we want
a more lex-independent solution. To allow each language its own
restrictions about non-ASCII characters, the check is
implemented in the *lang.l files.
28-Nov-1997 Dick Grune
Changed the name of the C similarity tester 'sim' to 'sim_c', for
uniformity with sim_java, etc.
23-Nov-1997 Dick Grune
Java version finished; checked by Matty Huntjens and crew.
24-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Started on a Java version, by copying the C version.
22-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Modern lexical analysers, among which flex, read the entire input into
a buffer before they issue the first token. As a result, ftell() no
longer gives a usable indication of the position of a token in a file.
This pulls the rug from under the nl_buff mechanism in buff.c, which
is removed. We loose a valuable optimization this way, but there just
seems to be no way to keep it.
Note that this has nothing to do with the problem in MS-DOS of
character count and fseek position not being synchronized. That
problem has been solved on June 14, 1991 (which see) and the code has
been running OK since.
18-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
The thought has occurred to use McCreight's linear longest common
substring algorithm rather than the existing algorithm, which has a
small quadratic component. There are a couple of problems with this:
1. We need the longest >non-overlapping< common substring;
McCreight provides just the longest. It is not at all clear
how to modify the algorithm.
2. Once we have found our LCS, we want to find the
one-but-longest; it is far from obvious how to do that in
McCreight's algorithm.
3. Once we have found our LCS, we want to take one of its
copies out of the game, to suppress duplicate messages.
Again, it is difficult to see how to do that, without
redoing all the calculations.
4. McCreight's algorithm seems to require about two binary
tree nodes per token, say 8 bytes, which is double we
use now.
17-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Did some experimenting with the hash function; it is still
pretty bad: the simple-minded second sweep through
forward_references easily removes another 80-99% of false hits.
Next, a third sweep that does a full comparison will remove another
large percentage.
So I have left in the second sweep in all cases.
There are a couple of questions here:
1. Can we find a better hash function, or will we forever need a
second sweep?
2. Does it actually matter, or will we loose on more expensive
hashing what we gain by having a better set of forward
references in compare.c?
16-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Cleaned up sim.h and renamed aiso.[ch] to runs.[ch] since they
are instantiations of the aiso module concerned with runs.
Aiso.[spc|bdy] stays aiso.[spc|bdy], of course.
16-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Redid largest_function() in algollike.c.
Corrected bug in CheckRun; it now always removes NonFinals from
the end, even when it has first applied largest_function().
15-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Reorganized the layers around the input file. There were and
still are three layers: lang, stream and buff.
Since the lex_X variables are hoisted unchanged through the levels
lang, stream, and buff, to be used by pass1, pass2, etc., they
have to be placed in a module of their own.
The token-providing module 'lang' has three interfaces:
- lang.h, which provides access to the lowest-level token
routines, to be used by the next level.
- lex.h, which provides the lex variables, to be used by
all and sundry.
- language.h, which provides language-specific info about
tokens, concerning their suitability as initial
and final tokens, to be used by higher levels.
This structure is not satisfactory, but it is also unreasonable
to combine them in one interface.
There is no single lang.c; rather it is represented by the
various Xlang.c files generated from the Xlang.l files.
14-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Added a Makefile zip entry to parallel the shar entry.
13-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
A number of simplifications, in view of better software and bigger
machines:
- Removed good_realloc from hash.c; I don't think there are
any bad reallocs left.
- Removed the option to run without forward_references.
On a 16Mb machine this means you have at least 2M tokens;
using a quadratic algorithm will take 4*10^6 sec. at an
impossible rate of 1M actions/sec., which is some 50 days.
Forget it.
- Renamed lang() to print_stream(), and incorporated it in sim.c
- Removed the MSDOS subdirectory mechanism in the Makefile.
- Removed the funny and sneaky double parameter expansion in
the call of idf_in_list().
12-Jun-1997 Dick Grune
Converted to ANSI C. Removed cport.h.
09-Jan-1995 Dick Grune
Decided not to do directories: they usually contain extraneous
files and doing sim * is simple enough anyway.
09-Sep-1994 Dick Grune
Added system.h to cater for the (few) differences between Unix and DOS.
The #define int32 is also supplied there.
05-Sep-1994 Dick Grune
Added many prototype declarations using cport.h.
Added a depend entry to the Makefile.
31-Aug-1994 Dick Grune
All these changes require a 32 bit integer; introduced a #define
int32, set from the command line in the Makefile.
25-Aug-1994 Dick Grune
It turned out that one of the most often called routines was .rem,
from idf_hashed() in idf.c. Moving the % out of the loop chafed off
another 6% and reduced the time to 18.4 sec.
19-Aug-1994 Dick Grune
With very large files (e.g., concatenated /usr/man/man1/*) the fixed
built-in hash table size of 10639 is no longer satisfactory. Hash.c
now finds a prime about 8 times smaller than the text_size to use
for hash table size; this achieves optimal speed-up without gobbling
up too much memory. Reduced the time for the above file from 30.2
sec. to 19.6 sec.
For checking, the same test was run with all hashing off; it took
20h 27m 19s = 73639 sec. But it worked.
11-Aug-1994 Dick Grune
For large values of MinRunSize (>1000) a large part of the time
(>two-thirds) was spent in calculating the hash values for each
position in the input, since the cost of this calculation was
proportional to MinRunSize. We now sample a maximum of 24 tokens
from the input string to calculate the hash value, and avoid
overflow. On my workstation, this reduces the time for
sim_text -r 1000 -n /usr/man/man1/*
from 60 sec to 21 sec.
30-Jun-1992 Dick Grune,kamer R4.40,telef. 5778
There was an amazing bug in buff.c where NextTextToken() for pass 2
omitted to set lex_token to EOL when retrieving newline info from
nl_buff. Worked until now!?!
23-Sep-1991 Dick Grune
Cport.h introduced, CONST and *.spc only.
17-Sep-1991 Dick Grune
The position-sorting routine in pass2.c has been made into a
separate generic module.
14-Jun-1991 Dick Grune (dick@cs.vu.nl) at dick.cs.vu.nl
Replaced the determination of the input position through counting
input characters by calls of ftell(); this is cleaner and the other
method will never work on MSDOS.
30-May-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Replaced the old top-100 module (which had been extended to top-10000
already anyway) by the new aiso (arbitrary-in sorted-out) module.
This caused a considerable speed-up on the Mod2 test bed:
%time cumsecs #call ms/call name
17.9 99.20 7209 13.76 _InsertTop
0.3 1.37 7209 0.19 _InsertAiso
It turns out that malloc() is not a serious problem, so no special
version for the aiso module is required.
23-May-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
No more uncommented comment at the end of preprocessor lines, to
conform to ANSI C.
23-May-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Added code in the X.l files to (silently) reject characters over 0200.
This does not really help, since lex stops on null chars. Ah, well.
19-May-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Made the token as handled by sim into an abstract data type, for
aesthetic reasons. Sign extension is still a problem.
03-May-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Optimized lcs() by first checking from the end if a sufficiently long
run is present; if in fact only the first 12 tokens match, chances
are good that you can reject the run right away by first testing
the 20th token, then the 19th, and so on.
21-Apr-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
A run of sim_m2 finding 7209 similarities raised the question of
the appropriateness of the linear sort in sort_pos(). Profiling
showed that in this case sorting takes all of 7.5 % of the total
time. Putting the word register in in the right places in
sort_pos() lowered this number to 4.6%.
20-Apr-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Moved the test for MayBeStartOfRun() from compare.c (where it is
done again and again) to hash.c, where its effect is incorporated in
the forward reference chain.
14-Apr-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Replaced elem_of() by bit tables, headers[] and trailers[], to be
prefilled from Headers[] and Trailers[] by a call of
InitLanguage(). This saves a few percents.
13-Apr-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Implemented the -e and the -S option, by putting yet another loop
in compare.c
13-Apr-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
The -- option (displaying the tokens) will now handle more than one
file.
20-Jan-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
After the modification of 19-Dec-88, 12% of the time went into
updating the positions in the chunks, as they were produced by the
matching process. This matching process identifies runs (matches)
by token position, which has to be recalculated to lseek positions
and line numbers. To this end the files are read again, and for
each line all positions found were checked to see if they applied
to this line; this was a awfully stupid algorithm, but since much
more time was spent elsewhere, it did not really matter. With all
the saving below, however, it had risen to second position, after
yylook() with 35%.
Th solution was, to sort the positions in the same order in which
they would be met by the reading of the files. The process is then
linear. This required some extensive hacking in pass2.c
06-Jan-1989 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
The modification below did indeed save 25%. The newline information
is now reduced to 2 shorts; 2 chars were not enough, since some
lines are longer that 127 bytes, and a char and a short together
take as much room as two shorts.
19-Dec-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
To avoid reading the files twice (which is still taking 25% of the
time), the first pass will now collect newline information for the
second pass in a buffer called nl_buff[]. This buffer, and the
original token buffer now named TokenArray[], are managed by the file
buff.c, which implements a layer between stream.h and pass?.c. This
layer provides OpenText(), NextTextToken() and CloseText(), each
with a parameter telling which pass it is.
06-Dec-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
As an introduction to removing the second pass altogether, the
first and second scan were unified, i.e., their input is identical.
This also means that the call sim -[12] has now been replaced by
one call: sim --.
23-Sep-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Dynamic allocation of line buffers in pass 3. This removes the
restriction on the page width.
22-Sep-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
In order to give better messages on incorrect calls to sim, the
whole option handling has been concentrated in a file option.c and
separated from the options and their messages themselves. See sim.c
07-Sep-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
For long text sequences (say hundreds of thousands of tokens),
the hashing is not really efficient any more since too many
spurious matches occur. Therefore, the forward reference table is
scanned a second time, eliminating from any chain all references to
runs that do not end in the same token. For the UNIX manuals this
reduced the number of matches from 91.9% to 1.9% (of which 0.06%
were genuine).
30-Aug-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
For compatibility, NextTop has been rewritten to yield true or
false and to accept a pointer to a run as a parameter.
30-Aug-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
When trying to find line-number and lseek position to beginnings
and ends of runs found, the whole set of runs was scanned for each
line in each file. Now only the runs belonging to that file are
scanned; to this end another linked list has been braided through
the data structures (tx_chunk).
30-Aug-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
The longest-common-substring algorithm was called much too often,
mainly because the forward references made by hashing suffered from
pollution. If you have say 1000 tokens and a hash range of say
10000, about 5 % of the hashings will be false matches, i.e. 50
matches, which is quite a lot on a natural number of 2 to 3 matches.
Improved by doing a second check in make_forw_ref().
12-Jun-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Installed a Lisp version supplied by Gertjan Akkerman.
15-Jan-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Added register declarations all over the place.
14-Jan-1988 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
It is often useful to match a piece of code exactly, especially
when function names (or, even more so, macro names) are involved.
What one would want is having all the letters in the text array,
but this is kind of hard, since each entry is one lexical item.
This means that under the -F option each letter is a lex item, and
normally each tag is a lex item; this requires two lex grammars in
one program; no good. So, on the -F flag we hash the identifier
into one lex item, which is hopefully characteristic enough. It
works.
30-Sep-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Some cosmetics.
31-Aug-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
Moved the whole thing to the SUN (while testing on a VAX and a
MC68000)
16-Aug-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at dick
The test program lang.c is no longer a main program, but rather a
subroutine called in main() in sim.c, through the command line
option -1 or -2.
23-Apr-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Changed the name 'index' into 'elem_of', because of compatibility
problems on different Unices. Added a declaration for it in
the file algollike.c
10-Mar-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Changed the printing of the header of a run so that:
- long file names will no longer be truncated
- the run length is displayed
27-Jan-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Switched it right off again! Getting them in textual order is
still more unpleasant, since now you cannot find the important
ones if their are more than a few runs.
27-Jan-1987 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Going to experiment with leaving out the sorting; just all the
runs, in the order we meet them. Should be as good or better.
Comparisons of more than 100 runs are very rare anyway, so the
fact that those over a 100 are rejected is probably no great
help. Getting them in a funny order is a nuisance, however. Down
with featurism. Just to be safe, present version saved as
870127.SV
26-Dec-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Names of overall parameters in params.h changed to more uniformity.
26-Dec-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Since the top package and the instantiation system have grown
apart so much, I have integrated the old top package into sim,
i.e., done the instantiation by hand. This removes top.g and
top.p, and will save outsiders from wondering what is going on
here.
23-Dec-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Use setbuf to print unbuffered while reading the files (lex core
dumps, other mishaps) and print buffered while printing the real
output (for speed).
30-Nov-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Various small changes in *lang.l:
; ignored conditionally (!options['f'])
new format for tokens in struct idf
cosmetics: macro Layout, macro UnsafeComChar, no \n
in character denotations, more than one char
in a char denotations in Pascal, etc.
30-Nov-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Added a Modula-2 version.
29-Nov-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Restricting tokens to the ASCII95 character set is really too
severe: some languages have many more reserved words (COBOL!).
Corrected this by adding a couple of '&0377' in strategic places.
Added a routine for printing the 8-bit beasties: show_token().
15-Aug-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Since the ; is superfluous in both C and Pascal, it is now ignored
by clang.l and pascallang.l
15-Aug-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
The code in CheckRun in Xlang.l was incorrect in that it used the
wrong criterion for throwing away trailing garbage. I've taken
CheckRun etc. out of the Xlang.l-s and turned them into a module
"algollike.c". Made a cleaner interface and avoided duplication of
code.

Looking backwards in compare.c to see if we are in the middle of a
run is an atavism. You can be and still be all right, e.g., if
part of the run was rejected as not fitting for a function.
Removed from compare.c.

The function hash_code() in hash.c could yield a negative value;
corrected.

Changed the name of the file text.h to sim.h. Sim.h is more
appropriate and text.h sounds as if it belongs to text.l, with
which it has no connection.

After having looked at a couple of hash functions and having done
some calculations on the number of duplicates normally encountered
in hash functions, I conclude that our function in hash.c is quite
good. Removed all the statistics-gathering stuff.
Actually, hash_table[] is not the hash table at all; it is a
forward reference table; likewise, the real hash table was called
last[]. Renamed both.
There is a way to keep the hash table local without putting it on
the stack: use malloc().

Added a simple lex file for text: each word is condensed into a
hash code which is mapped on the ASCII95 character set. This
turns out to be quite effective.

The macros cput(tk) and c_eol() both have a return in them, so any
code after them may not be executed -> they have to be last in an
entry. But they weren't, in many places; I can't imagine why it
all worked nevertheless. They have been renamed return_tk(tk) and
return_eol() and the entries have been restructured.

Moved the string and character entries in clang.l and pascallang.l
to a place behind the comment entries, to avoid strings (and
characters) being recognized inside comments. I first thought
this would not happen, but as Maarten pointed out, if both
interpretations have the same length, lex will take the first
entry. Now this will happen if the string occupies the whole line
that would otherwise be taken as a comment. In short,
/*
"hallo"
*/
would return ".

Added -d option, to display the output in diff(1) format (courtesy
of Maarten van der Meulen).
Rewrote the lexical parsing of comments (likewise courtesy Maarten
van der Meulen).
20-May-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Added a routine to convert identifiers to lower case in
pascallang.l .
19-May-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Added -a option, to quickly check antecedent of a file (courtesy
of Maarten van der Meulen).
18-May-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Brought everything under RCS/CVS.
18-Mar-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Added modifications by Paul Bame (hp-lsd!paul@hp-labs) to have an
option -w to set the page width.

Took array last[N_HASH] out of make_hash() in hash.c, due to stack
overflow on the Gould (reported by George Walker
tekig4!georgew@mcvax.uucp)
16-Feb-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Corrected some subtractions that caused unsigned ints to turn
pseudo-negative. (Reported by jaap@mcvax)
11-Jan-1986 Dick Grune (dick) at tjalk
Touched up for distribution.

Fill_line was not called for empty lines, which caused them to be
printed as repetitions of the previous line.

Reduced hash table to a single array of indices; it is used only
in one place, which makes it very easy to make it (the hash table)
optional. General tune-up of everything. This seems to be
another stable "final" version.

Some experiments with hash formulas:
h = (h OP CST) + *p++ OP CST yields right wrong
* 96 - 32 205 562
* 96 - 2 205 560
* 96 205 560
* 97 205 559
<< 0 66 3128
<< 1 203 555
<< 2 205 536
<< 7 203 540
Conclusion: it doesn't matter, unless you do it wrong.
