I had the requirement to compare to two text files (via Tmemo) and found the TDIFF component that worked exactly as I wanted. win32 app.
I just set the application to compile as a win64 bit app and the results were 'wrong'. (As verified with Notepad++ compare). No crash, no warning, just different results.
I am guessing the optimizations within the TDIFF unit and pointer use do not work in 64 bit target platform.
Description: Component to list differences between two integer arrays *
* using a "longest common subsequence" algorithm. *
* Typically, this component is used to diff 2 text files *
* once their individuals lines have been hashed. *
I could not find another Component in JVCL - any alternatives out there?
Thank you in advance
