///
/// @brief How changes are represented in libabigail's comparison engine.
///
///@par diff nodes
///
/// The internal representation of the comparison engine is basically
/// a graph of @ref instances of @ref diff node.  We refer to these
/// just as <em>diff nodes</em>.  A diff node represents a change
/// between two ABI artifacts represented by instances of types of the
/// abigail::ir namespace.  These two artifacts that are being
/// compared are called the <em>subjects of the diff</em>.
///
/// The types of that IR are in the abigail::comparison namespace.
///
///@par comparing diff nodes
///
/// Comparing two instances of @ref diff nodes amounts to comparing
/// the subject of the diff.  In other words, two @ref diff nodes are
/// equal if and only if their subjects are equal.  Thus, two @ref
/// diff nodes can have different memory addresses and yet be equal.
///
///@par diff reporting and context
///
/// A diff node can be serialized to an output stream to express, in
/// a human-readable textual form, the different changes that exist
/// between its two subjects.  This is done by invoking the
/// diff::report() method.  That reporting is controlled by several
/// parameters that are conceptually part of the context of the diff.
/// That context is materialized by an instance of the @ref
/// diff_context type.
///
/// Please note that the role of the instance(s) of @ref diff_context
/// is boreader than just controlling the reporting of @ref diff
/// nodes.  Basically, a @ref diff node itself is created following
/// behaviours that are controlled by a particular instance of
/// diff_context.  A diff node is created in a particular diff
/// context, so to speak.
///
/// @}
///

///
///@defgroup CanonicalDiff Canonical diff tree nodes
/// @{
///
/// @brief How equivalent diff nodes are quickly spotted.
///
/// @par Equivalence of diff nodes.
///
/// Each @ref diff node has a property named <em>Canonical Diff
/// Node</em>.  If \c D is a diff node, the canonical diff node of @c
/// D, noted @c C(D) is a particular diff node that is equal to @c D.
/// Thus, a fast way to compare two @ref diff node is to perform a
/// pointer comparison of their canonical diff nodes.
///
/// A set of equivalent @ref diff nodes is a set of diff nodes that
/// all have the same canonical node.  All the nodes of that set are
/// equal.
///
/// A canonical node is registereded for a given diff node by invoking
/// the method diff_context::initialize_canonical_diff().
///
/// Please note that the diff_context holds all the canonical diffs
/// that got registered through it.  Thus, the life time of all of
/// canonical diff objects is the same as the life time of the @ref
/// diff_context they relate to.
