Description:


this implements a browser for the changes-file 
(actually, it can display any sourceFile's contents).
See the extra document 'doc/misc/cbrowser.doc' for how to use this browser.

written jan 90 by claus

This is a very old leftover class (it was one of the very first apps in ST/X
and the Merovingian has not yet detected this one ;-)

At the time this was originally written, I had a 2Mb machine, and every memory byte was a very valuable.
Therefore, the original did not keep any infos in memory, but instead kept a list of change-chunk file offsets,
and parsed the chunks over and over (eg. when searching for classname/selector etc.)
Later, when bigger memories became available, more and more infos where cached in additional arrays (classname,
selector, etc.) and those where finally condensed into a single changeInfo object.
However, now that really enough memory is avail, this is really no longer useful, and we should keep
changeSet entries instead (which hold the same info plus more).
The ChangeSetBrowser does exactly this, but does not support all of the fancy compress/delete etc.
operations of the ChangesBrowser, to which we got used so much.
Thus, this one kept on living its zombie life and gets occasional features added (sigh)...
(Well, like many workhorses, they become ugly when aged, but still do their duty)

It MUST eventually be completely replaced by the ChangeSetBrowser class in the near future.


[Class variables:]
    CompressSnapshotInfo            if true (the default), snapshot entries
                                    are also compressed in the compress function.
                                    Some users prefer them to be not compressed.
                                    Set it to false for this.

Notice:
    this needs a total rewrite, to build up a changeSet from the file
    (which did not exist when the ChangesBrowser was originally written)
    and manipulate that changeSet.

    This way, we get a browser for any upcoming incore changeSets for
    free. Also, this will put the chunk analysation code into Change and
    subclasses (where it belongs) and give a better encapsulation and
    overall structure. Do not take this as an example for good style ;-)

    The Change hierarchy is currently been completed, and the changes browser
    should be adapted soon.

private-changeFile access
o  changeFileName: aFileName
set the name of the changeFile

o  checkIfFileHasChanged
check if the changeFile has been modified since the last check;
install a timeout for rechecking after some time.

o  readChangesFile
read the changes file, create a list of header-lines (changeChunks)
and a list of chunk-positions (changePositions)

o  readChangesFileInBackground: inBackground
read the changes file, create a list of header-lines (changeChunks)
and a list of chunk-positions (changePositions).
Starting with 2.10.3, the entries are multi-col entries;
the cols are:
1 delta (only if comparing)
'+' -> new method (w.r.t. current state)
'-' -> removed method (w.r.t. current state)
'?' -> class does not exist currently
'=' -> change is the same as current methods source
'~' -> change is almost the same as current methods source
2 class/selector
3 type of change
doit
method
category change
4 timestamp

since comparing slows down startup time, it is now disabled by
default and can be enabled via a toggle.

o  writeBackChanges
write back the changes file. To avoid problems when the disk is full
or a crash occurs while writing (well, or someone kills us),
first write the stuff to a new temporary file. If this works ok,
rename the old change-file to a .bak file and finally rename the
tempfile back to the change-file.
That way, if anything happens, either the original file is left unchanged,
or we have at least a backup of the previous change file.
