Hello,
I am a frequent user of the file comparison/diff application WinMerge. I am
looking into comparable software, but I have a specific need in mind, that so
far I have not found in any available software (that i know of anyways).

Since I am a computer programmer. most files I compare for differences end up
being source code. I was wondering if it would be possible to have a function
level text comparison on top of normal text comparison. I have found that most
diff tools I have found have trouble when it comes to comparing source files
whose functions may be longer in one file, out of order, or have similar text in
closely related functions, or other sorts of overlaps that can occur due to
normal coding structure and habits. Is this a feasible feature? Or are there
other suggestions for obtaining better comparison results and more efficient
merging of source code files? Being able to compare just the text within
function scoping as well as text comparison if desired would be tremendously
helpful.

Thanks in advance.
