 * Function: diff_match
 *
 * Purpose:
 *  Compare common objects in given groups according to table structure.
 *  The table structure has flags which can be used to find common objects
 *  and will be compared.
 *  Common object means same name (absolute path) objects in both location.
 *
 * Return: Number of differences found
 *
 * Programmer: Pedro Vicente, pvn@ncsa.uiuc.edu
 *
 * Date: May 9, 2003
 *
 * Modifications: Jan 2005 Leon Arber, larber@uiuc.edu
 *    Added support for parallel diffing
 *
 * Pedro Vicente, pvn@hdfgroup.org, Nov 4, 2008
 *    Compare the graph and make h5diff return 1 for difference if
 * 1) the number of objects in file1 is not the same as in file2
 * 2) the graph does not match, i.e same names (absolute path)
 * 3) objects with the same name are not of the same type

 *  - Move follow symlinks code toward top. (March 2812)
 *  - Add following symlinks feature (Feb 11,2010)
 *  - Change to use diff_args_t to pass the rest of args.
 *    Passing through it instead of individual args provides smoother
 *    extensibility through its members along with MPI code update for ph5diff
 *    as it doesn't require interface change.
