#!/usr/bin/env perl

# Read two files produced by the stackusage script, and show the
# delta between them.
#
# Currently, only shows changes for functions listed in both files. We
# could add an option to show also functions which have vanished or
# appeared (which would often be due to gcc making other inlining
# decisions).
#
# Another possible option would be a minimum absolute value for the
# delta.
#
# A third possibility is for sorting by delta, but that can be
# achieved by piping to sort -k5,5g.

	# numeric suffix is likely to change across different
	# commits/compilers/.configs or whatever else we're trying to
	# tweak, we can't really track those functions, so we just
	# silently skip them.

	# since the suffix is likely to change, we strip it.
