            Bug ID: 16838
           Summary: 5.6 Collation Example: sort_strings_fast - qsort
                    arguments out of order
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.19
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: manual

Guys,

  Here is an easy one for you. In section 5.6 of the libc manual, the example
given for the sort_strings_fast function contains the arguments for qsort in
the wrong order. The example shows:

void
sort_strings_fast (char **array, int nstrings)
{
    struct sorter temp_array[nstrings];
    int i;
<snip>
    /* Sort temp_array by comparing transformed strings. */
    qsort (temp_array, sizeof (struct sorter),
            nstrings, compare_elements);

should be:

    qsort (temp_array, nstrings,
            sizeof (struct sorter), compare_elements);


Thanks.
