测试环境: 系统:macOS10.12.6 编译器:Xcode8.3.3 x64 CPU:i7 2.5G(turbo3.7G,6MB共享L3缓存) 内存: 8G*2 DDR3 1600MHz
(x64模式编译BsDiff4.3时, 手动将后缀数组索引类型int64修改为int32,这样运行更快一些,而且内存占用减半!)
(HDiffPatch的说明和源代码下载: http://blog.csdn.net/housisong/article/details/9003013 )
和BsDiff的对比： (文件数据都加载到内存)
HDiff2.0 diff used create_compressed_diff() + bzip2 | lzma | zlib , all data in memory;
patch used patch_decompress() + load oldFile data into memory, other data use file stream.
BsDiff4.3 with bzip2 and all data in memory;
(when compiling BsDiff4.3-x64, suffix string index type int64 changed to int32,
faster and memroy requires to be halved.)

对于GB为单位的超大文件来说，hdiff和bsdiff算法的内存占用和时间都很难让人接受；这时就需要一种能够控制内存占用和时间可接受的算法，为此hdiff库提供了一个新的create_compressed_diff_stream()函数来解决这个问题(与create_compressed_diff()的输出兼容)，提供超大文件高性能的diff解决方案。
和xdelta3.1的对比：
(xdelta3.1在diff "gcc-src..." 时失效, 添加 -B 530000000 参数后diff结果才正常,输出 11787978字节，但这时使用了2639MB内存!)
HDiff2.1.3 diff used create_compressed_diff_stream()+bzip2,kMatchBlockSize=128, all data use
file stream; patch used patch_decompress(), all data use file stream.
xdelta3.1 diff run by: -e -s old_file new_file delta_file
patch run by: -d -s old_file delta_file decoded_new_file
(note fix: xdelta3.1 diff "gcc-src..." fail, add -B 530000000 diff ok,
out 14173073B and used 1070MB memory.)

HDiff比BsDiff 生成的diff数据更小(一般小15%以上),速度更快(一般只需要1/4多时间),占用内存更小(一般只需要2/3内存);
而在资源限制可能性更大的patch阶段,HPatch比BsPatch运行的更快(几分之一时间)，内存占用大多时候也小的多！ (hpatch也支持限制内存占用的调用模式，速度会慢些)
HDiff新函数比xdelta 可以看到在两种参数下都得到了类似的对比结果：
diff的结果小很多(约25%以上),执行时间相当,但内存占用只有1/5以下；
patch时执行时间比xdelta慢(约50%以上)，但内存占用只有1/5以下；(hpatch也支持使用较多内存的调用模式，见和bspatch的对比测试，速度会比xdelta快很多)
