icdiff hanging on large files #213

Hello,

My colleague and I were interested in using icdiff inside of a university autograding software (linked here). However, we have encountered an issue where calling icdiff on somewhat large files seems to hang.

I have attached two ~1.5 MB UTF-8 files here, these files do differ. Some notes from running diff and icdiff on these files manually:

  • Standard diff runs in less than a second.
  • However, icdiff as well as python3 -m icdiff both seem to hang after displaying file1.txt and file2.txt.

Any input on this issue would be appreciated.

file1.txt
file2.txt
