Description
While thinking about #59260 and #57348 (and #57433) there is now a problem with
BinarySearchFunc()
(at least the documentation):
BinarySearchFunc works like BinarySearch, but uses a custom comparison
function. The slice must be sorted in increasing order, where "increasing" is
defined by cmp. cmp(a, b) is expected to return an integer comparing the two
parameters: 0 if a == b, a negative number if a < b and a positive number if
a > b.
"defined by cmp" is problematic after #57348, as to sort the slice both parameters
need to be of the same type as the slice elements. If code is using a cmp
where E
is
not T
then the sort of x
is not defined.
