One change is reported in the DIFF output, but it is not reported in the JSON variant... about gumtree HOT 3 CLOSED

Strange, using latest GumTree version and your archive, I obtain the exact same diff (8 insert and 1 update). Maybe this was due to a threshold difference. Don't hesitate to reopen the bug if it happens again.

Ok, jrfaller.

I finally conducted my studies over the DIFF variant, but I will be reporting more issues if I find them. You have done a good work here.

By the way, it has been longer since I shared you my interest to customize GumTree in some ways:

1. Execute it over a different AST-technology for C#. For example:
   a. Roslyn instead the current SrcML.
   b. SrcML's AST enriched with additional information.

2. Intercepting the matching or the difference phases (before it starts, when it is on going, and after it finished).

As GumTree already supports different parser technologies, I think at least the first one seems doable. But, I do not how, nor if the second one is possible too. In any case, I would appretiate so much your guidance or help. Is that possible?

Regards.

Hi!

I definitively think that having a better parser than srcML, such as Roslyn would be very nice, since is not Java, it would require to code a native tool that produce XML out of a cs file that would be launched under the hood by GumTree and converted to GumTree's internal format. This is how we do for srcml, C and python for instance.

Regarding your idea to place hooks on the matching phase, I did not think of that but it seems possible to do, but I am curious to know why do you think it can be useful? Perhaps to add pre or post processing?

In any case, if you want to try to add features to GumTree, I will help you.

Cheers!
