My guess is that diff gets confused by C++ syntax it does not
recognise; it knows only C syntax. My guess in this case is that the
part that confuses it is the namespace separator "::"; it does not
recognise getString, getTime, getTimestamp as new functions because
their return type starts (or contains) "::".

Just ignore the function that diff reports :) (Or send a patch to GNU
diffutils so that it recognises C++ syntax ;-) )
