File src/delta.c part of check-in [522104c2cd] - Improvements to the delta generator algorthm so that it runs much faster on large files with very few similarities. There is no change to the delta format generated, so this is fully backwards and forwards compatible. by drh on 2009-03-24 22:03:56.

/*
** Create a new delta.
**
** The delta is written into a preallocated buffer, zDelta, which 
** should be at least 60 bytes longer than the target file, zOut.
** The delta string will be NUL-terminated, but it might also contain
** embedded NUL characters if either the zSrc or zOut files are
** binary.  This function returns the length of the delta string
** in bytes, excluding the final NUL terminator character.
**
** Output Format:
**
** The delta begins with a base64 number followed by a newline.  This
** number is the number of bytes in the TARGET file.  Thus, given a
** delta file z, a program can compute the size of the output file
** simply by reading the first line and decoding the base-64 number
** found there.  The delta_output_size() routine does exactly this.
**
** After the initial size number, the delta consists of a series of
** literal text segments and commands to copy from the SOURCE file.  
** A copy command looks like this:
**
**     NNN@MMM,
**
** where NNN is the number of bytes to be copied and MMM is the offset
** into the source file of the first byte (both base-64).   If NNN is 0
** it means copy the rest of the input file.  Literal text is like this:
**
**     NNN:TTTTT
**
** where NNN is the number of bytes of text (base-64) and TTTTT is the text.
**
** The last term is of the form
**
**     NNN;
**
** In this case, NNN is a 32-bit bigendian checksum of the output file
** that can be used to verify that the delta applied correctly.  All
** numbers are in base-64.
**
** Pure text files generate a pure text delta.  Binary files generate a
** delta that may contain some binary data.
**
** Algorithm:
**
** The encoder first builds a hash table to help it find matching
** patterns in the source file.  16-byte chunks of the source file
** sampled at evenly spaced intervals are used to populate the hash
** table.
**
** Next we begin scanning the target file using a sliding 16-byte
** window.  The hash of the 16-byte window in the target is used to
** search for a matching section in the source file.  When a match
** is found, a copy command is added to the delta.  An effort is
** made to extend the matching section to regions that come before
** and after the 16-byte hash window.  A copy command is only issued
** if the result would use less space that just quoting the text
** literally. Literal text is added to the delta for sections that 
** do not match or which can not be encoded efficiently using copy
** commands.
