Use std::sort instead of qsort in minsyms.c
This has better typesafety and is also marginally faster (either due to inlining or because it avoids indirection through a function pointer). Note that in this change: - return 1; /* fn1 has no name, so it is "less". */ + return true; /* fn1 has no name, so it is "less". */ else if (name1) /* fn2 has no name, so it is "less". */ - return -1; + return false; I am fairly sure the old code was wrong (ie. code didn't match the comment and the comment seemed correct), so I fixed it. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-09-28 Christian Biesinger <cbiesinger@google.com> * minsyms.c (compare_minimal_symbols): Rename to... (minimal_symbol_is_less_than): ...this, and adjust to STL conventions (return bool, take arguments as references) (minimal_symbol_reader::install): Call std::sort instead of qsort.
