How to diff only "*.c" files in all sub-directories?

I have tried ediff which has a filter setting, but I don't know the way to 
display all files in all sub-directories in just one buffer.

It is not clear exactly what you want.  Supposing you have these files:

~/mydev/comms/foo.c
~/mydev/comms/bar.c
~/mydev/comms/lib/tcp.c
~/mydev/appl/braeburn.c

, with which other file should each of these be compared?

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").

If you can exclude all or most of the other files with the "-x PATTERN"
option to Diff, that's the only way I know of.
