From 0210d251162f4033350a94a43f95b1c39ec84a90 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuan-Wei Chiu Date: Thu, 26 Dec 2024 22:03:32 +0800 Subject: scripts/sorttable: fix orc_sort_cmp() to maintain symmetry and transitivity The orc_sort_cmp() function, used with qsort(), previously violated the symmetry and transitivity rules required by the C standard. Specifically, when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, it could result in both a < b and b < a, which breaks the required symmetry and transitivity. This can lead to undefined behavior and incorrect sorting results, potentially causing memory corruption in glibc implementations [1]. Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x. Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z. Fix the comparison logic to return 0 when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, ensuring compliance with qsort() requirements.
