https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D254455 Bug ID: 254455 Summary: BSD diff(1) compares same files and dirs Product: Base System Version: 12.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mail@fbsd2.e4m.org Created attachment 223468 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D223468&action= =3Dedit patch I was wondering why a "diff -rq" on FreeBSD-12 (BSD diff) ran endlessly whi= le on FreeBSD-11 (GNU diff) it terminated in 0.6 seconds. This is because BSD diff compares files and dirs even if they are the same.= I checked what GNU diff does in this case and added the corresponding code to diffdir() and diffreg(). The style is probably considered bad ;-). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
