Diff

The explorer is in pretty good shape. Consider diffing two bytecode files next -- can we tell when they were likely the same program? Check existing research on graph structures (we can build the zo-struct graph right now).

(from the old zordoz docs)

Bytecode should be much more amenable to "diffing" than source files. Superficial changes should disappear after the compiler's extracted the core functionality. Potential applications:

  • Code search -- find a library function similar to a code chunk
  • Detect malware / corrupted files
  • Cheating detection software

These are just ideas for now. First thing is to explore and see what's possible and feasible.

See the S6 project for inspiration. Also, possibly, MOSS.
