lvdiff patch for Mercurial diff function

Ton Plomp — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:24:01 -0000

Since Mercurial (and probably GIT as well) don't rename the both versions of the the file, LabVIEW cannot load them into the same application instance.
This patch renames one of the two files so no name collission will happen.

LVDIFF 7.1.1 upload by user

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:04:22 -0000

The Compare 2 VIS.vi was changed from LV7.1 to LV8.x. The LVDIFF program calls this be reference from the location in the labview libraries. As such the reference to the different version is broken. I have simply added a reference for the missing version, and slightly modified the code so that it'd run.

This is only the lvdiff.vi, not any of the other materials from the .zip file that can be downloaded from the project.

Back-save to LV7.1

Per user requests, here's a LV7.1 version of the three VIs. If all goes well, we'll do a full-on release for LV7.1 users.

Patch for some copies of LV 8.0

This patch is a response to an issue
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1473590&group_id=29668&atid=396981)
discovered by Dimitris on his copy of LabVIEW 8.0. It
appears that some copies of LV 8.0 may use a different
connector pane for their VI comparison toolkit. The
attached VI should address this issue for affected users.

lvdiff connector pane

Hi, Ian

I have followed your advise and created new
blank VI with the same connector pane layout (and
terminal
types) as CMP compare two VIs.vi

Sorry for the late responce.
Regards
Dimitris

PS. Sorry for the New-repeat message but could not
find a way to attach files on the follow up message
How can I attach more than one file?

adapted to LabVIEW 8.0 and without error message duing LabV

Oliver Frank — Mon, 06 Mar 2006 11:51:24 -0000

Hi all,

i adapted lvdiff-2.2-win32 to LabVIEW 8.0
and correct the lvdiff.cpp file, when it called LabVIEW.

The error message was shown if the path where LabVIEW
was installed contains blank spaces.
This is based (so i think) on a failure of the function
"spawnlp" in the file lvdiff.cpp.
I prevented this by the transformation into
8-character-DOS-path.

enjoy it

Support for MSVC 7.1

Sebastian Schuberth — Fri, 01 Jul 2005 23:57:26 -0000

This patch contains a slightly modified metadiff.cpp
which compiles without errors using MSVC 7.1, along
with the project files. The WinMain entry point was
also removed, because then _argc and _argv would be
undefined.
