Matching_block.t listGet_matching_blocks not only aggregates the data from matches a b but also attempts to remove random, semantically meaningless matches ("semantic cleanup"). The value of big_enough governs how aggressively we do so. See get_hunks below for more details.
matches a b returns a list of pairs (i,j) such that a.(i) = b.(j) and such that the list is strictly increasing in both its first and second coordinates. This is essentially a "unfolded" version of what get_matching_blocks returns. Instead of grouping the consecutive matching block using length this function would return all the pairs (mine_start * other_start).
match_ratio ~compare a b computes the ratio defined as:
2 * len (matches a b) / (len a + len b)It is an indication of how much alike a and b are. A ratio closer to 1.0 will indicate a number of matches close to the number of elements that can potentially match, thus is a sign that a and b are very much alike. On the other hand, a low ratio means very little match.

transform:('a -> elt) ->

other:'a array ->
'a Hunk.t listget_hunks ~transform ~context ~mine ~other will compare the arrays mine and other and produce a list of hunks. (The hunks will contain Same ranges of at most context elements.) context defaults to infinity (producing a singleton hunk list). The value of big_enough governs how aggressively we try to clean up spurious matches, by restricting our attention to only matches of length less than big_enough. Thus, setting big_enough to a higher value results in more aggressive cleanup, and the default value of 1 results in no cleanup at all. When this function is called by Patdiff_core, the value of big_enough is 3 at the line level, and 7 at the word level.
