...It provides a side-by-side view of the differences between two text files, along with several innovative features such as diff bookmarks, a graphical map of differences for quick navigation, and a facility for slicing diff regions to achieve exactly the merge output desired.

The CodeXCavator is a tool for source code indexing, tagging, and fast full-text search. It consists of two applications: The indexer is a configurable tool for creating an index for large amounts of source code or plain text files. The searcher is a GUI based tool for fast full text search within previously created indexes. The toolchain also supports code tagging, i.e. you can include special tags within comments inside the source code. These are indexed separately and can be...

...We'll see why this is important when we get to diffs and program analysis, but for now let's just inspect some output. It helps to have a simple program to parse. Symbols are named identifiers driven by the ASTs. This is the format that github.com uses to generate code navigation information allowing c-tags style lookup of symbolic names for fast, incremental navigation in all the supported languages. The incremental part is important because files change often so we want to be able to parse just what's changed and not have to analyze the entire project again.
