Ediff ignore-whitespace?

Ediff ignore-whitespace?

[Michael Mercurio]

Hi,

It seems that "ignore-whitepace" option in Ediff, used
to "skip over regions that differ only in whitespace
and linebreaks", does not consider "lack of
whitespace" between braces and parens in C and C++
statements.

As an example, it would be nice to ignore the
difference in whitepace and lack of whitespace between
the parens in the following regions:

  Region A:
    if ( (var1 == true) || (var2 == true) )

  Region B:
    if ((var1 == true) || (var2 == true))

Does anyone know how to make ediff behave this way?

Thanks,
m

(setq ediff-forward-word-function 'forward-char)

or

(setq ediff-diff-option "-w")

Nice.  Is there a way to make it mode specific?  I put this in my
c-mode-common-hook, but it seems to be global anyway.

(set (make-local-variable 'ediff-diff-options) "-w")
