# Difftool
This directory contains tools to compare build artifacts from two separate
build invocations as a way of gauging build correctness and debugging
potential problems with build systems under development.
# Usage
Use of these tools requires a multistep process:
1. Build using legacy build system:
```
$ m libc
```
2. Collect results to a tmp directory.
```
$ ./collect.py out/combined-aosp_flame.ninja \
out/target/product/flame/obj/libc.so \
/tmp/legacyFiles
```
3. Build using the new build system:
```
$ USE_BAZEL_ANALYSIS=1 m libc
```
4. Collect results to a tmp directory.
```
$ ./collect.py out/combined-aosp_flame.ninja \
out/target/product/flame/obj/libc.so \
/tmp/newFiles
```
5. Run comparative analysis on the two tmp directories. (See
documentation of difftool.py for exact usage.)
```
$ ./difftool.py /tmp/legacyFiles \
out/target/product/flame/obj/libc.so \
/tmp/newFiles \
out/target/product/flame/obj/libc.so
```
Use `./collect.py -h` or `./difftool.py -h` for full usage information of
these subtools.
