MELD: a Multi-Paradigm Language with Objects, Dataflow and Modules MELD: A Multi-Paradigm Language with Objects, Dataflow and Modules Gail E. Kaiser Columbia University Department of Computer Science New York, NY 10027 David Garlan Tektronix, Inc. Computer Research Laboratory Beaverton, OR 97077 December 1987 CUCS-281-87 Abstract This technical report consists of the two most recent papers from the MELD project. Melding Software Systems from Reusable Building Blocks describes MELD as a declarative language that combines facilities from the package library, software generation and object-oriented language approaches to reusability. MEWing Data Flow and Object-Oriented Programming emphasizes the multi-paradigm nature of MELD and introduces overriding of inherited facilities and generic features, and discusses compile-time error detection. Prof. Kaiser is supponed in pan by grants from AT&T Foundation, ffiM, Siemens Research and Technology Laboratories, and the New York State Center of Advanced Technology - Com­ puter & Infonnation Systems, and in pan by a Digital Equipment Corporation Faculty Award. When this research was conducted, Dr. Garlan was supported in pan by the United States Anny, Software Technology Development Division of CECOM COMMIADP, Fort Monmouth, NJ and in part by ZTI-SOF of Siemens Corporation, Munich, Gennany.

It supports 2 and 3-file diffs, recursive directory diffs, diffing of directories under version control (Bazaar,CVS, Darcs, Fossil, Git, Mercurial, Monotone), as well as the ability to manually and automatically merge file differences. OPTIONS −−auto-compare, −a Automatically compare all differing files on startup. −−auto−merge Automatically merge files −−comparison−file=<file> Load a savedcomparison from a Meld comparison file −−diff FILE1|DIR1 FILE2|DIR2 [FILE3|DIR3] Create a difftab for the givenfiles or directories. Note that "meld −−diffFILE1 FILE2" is functionally equivalent to "meld FILE1 FILE2". However, the −−diff argument can be given multiple times for one invocation of meld which allows the user to automatically initiate mul- tiple diffs when meld starts. See examples below. −−help, −h Print application help and usage. −−label=<label>, −L <label> Set application windowtitle to <label>. −−newtab, −n Open the comparison as a newtab in an already-running instance. −−output, −o Sets the save path for the middle buffer in a three-pane merge view. This is useful for loading the middle buffer from one file and saving it to another,for example in use as a version control merge helper. −−unified, −u Ignored for compatibility −−version Print application version and exit. EXAMPLES meld Run meld without initiating a diff.

Say you wrote some piece of code. You discover a bug and you want to change it. You fix the bug, save the code. Try the program again and… it doesn't work! What went wrong? Would be nice if you could compare what you changed... Solution: make a backup copy before every change! Version systems make it easy to backup and compare changes Florido Paganelli Working with SVN Tutorial 2b 4/66 Why version/revision systems? If you do many changes, you might not remember what changes you made. Version systems allow you to attach a comment to the change. If you want to share your code with other developers, it's nice if everybody can see who changed what. Version systems allow you to author the changes so the others know what you're done. This helps sharing code. Florido Paganelli Working with SVN Tutorial 2b 5/66 Why version/revision systems?
