Personally, I use 'diff -bBNpruw <old> <new>' but all you really need
is 'diff -u <old> <new>'
The options above mean:
-B, -b, -w : various ways of ignoring white-space
-N : treat files that are only in one dir as empty in the other
-p : show waht C function th change is in
-r : recurse sub-dirs
-u : unified diff
<old> : the stock code
<new> : your modified code
