Abstract
A system and method for receiving an origin file corresponding to source code, modifying the source code to create a modified source code, creating a modified file corresponding to the modified source code and comparing the modified file to the origin file. A system having an editor for editing source code to create a modified source code and a patch aware editor storing an origin file corresponding to the source code and creating a modified file corresponding to the modified source code, the patch aware editor comparing the origin file to the modified file and displaying conflicts between the files.
Claims13
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions being operable to:
- receive an origin file corresponding to source code, wherein the origin file is a sequential list of lines of the source code;
- modify the source code to create a modified source code;
- create a modified file corresponding to the modified source code;
- compare the modified file to the origin file;
- save the modified source code and modified file without altering the origin file;
- and display conflicts between the modified file and the origin file.
A system, comprising:
- an editor for editing source code to create a modified source code;
- and
- a patch aware editor storing an origin file corresponding to the source code and creating a modified file corresponding to the modified source code, the patch aware editor comparing the origin file to the modified file and displaying conflicts between the files,
- wherein the origin file is a sequential list of lines of the source code, and
- wherein the patch aware editor saves the modified source code and modified file without altering the origin file.
