This does not directly answer your question, but you may want to look at
the diff-highlight script in contrib/diff-highlight. I wrote it because
I found word-diff often unreadable, but still wanted something to
highlight small changes on a line like this.
On your example, it produces:
-void foo(int x);
+void foo(int x{+, int y});
except that the {+...} bit is highlighted by color, which makes it quite
readable.
