I'm unclear what you're seeking.  For instance, given this:

// original/a.c
// ...mumbly...
void foo()
{
    int i;

    i = x();
    i = y()
}

and

// new/a.c
// ...mumbly...
void foo()
{
    int i;

    i = y();
    i = z();
}

the obvious line of difference is the removal of i = x() and the addition of
i = z();  So what will the diff'd version look like, conceptually would it
be this? :

// diffd/a.c
// ...mumbly...
// ...possible more mumbly...
void foo()
{
    int i;

    diffd_old();
    i = y();
    diffd_new();
}
