--- Comment #2 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> 2011-10-23 08:17:07 UTC ---
This is a bug in the manual. The text about using the address as part of the
comparison function is not only ineffective but actually results in undefined
behavior due to violation of the requirements on comparison functions. It
should just be removed.
