I'm looking for a tool that can read and compare between two source code for instance.

private void Test()
{

int = 1;

}

is same as 

private void Test()
{

    int = 1;

  }

But it is a different between

private void test()
{

int = 1;

}

and

private void Test()
{

    int = 1;

  }

Do you know a recommended software?

If possible, if would be greate to know a software in open source, freeware or commercial?

Thanks!

    Please note int = 1 is not valid C/C++ and I don't think it is even valid java.

  • Is this supposed to be for arbitrary languages, or are you looking to support for specific languages (which might get you better answers)

  • Do you just want to compare text files while ignoring whitespace differences?

I would strongly recommend taking a look at Review Board, free and open source but with commercial support but it will not tell you that the example you give is different in the second case, your compiler and linker will however.

If, however, you are just looking to compare code files in a manner that ignores whitespace differences then many file compare utilities have an option to ignore whitespace differences.

Personally I like kdiff3 also free and open source which does have this option as well as many others but there are a lot of file compare utilities available.
