Subject: [PATCH 17/17] perf tools: Fix comment for sort__* compare functions
Date: Tue,  6 Feb 2018 19:18:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180206181813.10943-18-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180206181813.10943-1-jolsa@kernel.org>

In commit 2f15bd8c6c6e ("perf tools: Fix "Command" sort_entry's cmp and collapse function")
we switched from pointer to string comparison.

But failed to remove related comments. Removing them and adding
another one to warn before pointer comparison in here.
