What was the last change I made?
You made a change in the source code, now there is some problem. Things are not working the same as before. Sounds familiar, you ask What was the last change I made? There are different tools designed just for that. The mother of all is the venerable diff command, a unix command line utility. The diff command can be used with another command line utility patch to bring the old version of source code to the current revision.
On MS Windows I use Winmerge. Winmerge is an Open Source visual file differencing (diff) and merging tool(patch) . It only works on windows platform.
diff can be used with binary files, which is a useful feature if you are an embedded developer.
