Simon pointed out that the cooked index template-matching patch
introduced a failure in libstdc++ debug mode. In particular, the new
code violates the assumption of std::lower_bound and std::upper_bound
that the range is sorted with respect to the comparison.
When I first debugged this, I thought the problem was unfixable as-is
and that a second layer of filtering would have to be done. However,
on irc, Simon pointed out that it could perhaps be solved if the
comparison function were assured that one operand always came from the
index, with the other always being the search string.
This patch implements this idea.
First, a new mode is introduced: a sorting mode for
cooked_index_entry::compare. In this mode, strings are compared
case-insensitively, but we're careful to always sort '<' before any
other printable character. This way, two names like "func" and
"func<param>" will be sorted next to each other -- i.e., "func1" will
not be seen between them. This is important when searching.
Second, the compare function is changed to work in a strcmp-like way.
This makes it easier to test and (IMO) understand.
Third, the compare function is modified so that in non-sorting modes,
the index entry is always the first argument. This allows consistency
in compares.
I regression tested this in libstdc++ debug mode on x86-64 Fedora 36.
It fixes the crash that Simon saw.
This is v2. I believe it addresses the review comments, except for
the 'enum class' change, as I mentioned in email on the list.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
