Request for review (XS): 7091366 re-enable quicksort tests

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Bengt,

You need to remove "static" keyword, otherwise new compilers will complain about combination "extern static" and you 
don't need parentheses since it is only one method:

-static int test_stdlib_comparator(const void* a, const void* b) {
+extern "C" int test_stdlib_comparator(const void* a, const void* b) {


Thanks,
Vladimir
