#13364 closed Patch - Bug Fix (fixed)

mythfrontend segfault

Description

mythfrontend segfaults when you select "Manage Recordings" then "Recording Rules".

This is caused by commit 17d978723, 13 december, David Hampton, "Use naturalCompare in more places instead of a simple '<' comparison."

In some places the "< 0" is omitted and then the value of naturalCompare is returned instead of a boolean value. This apparently causes the sort to fail.

The patch adds the "< 0" comparison where it is missing in files programrecpriority.cpp and proglist.cpp.

In 6c76d1767/mythtv:

Fix mythfrontend segfaults in "Recording Rules".

There are a number of places where the result of naturalCompare (which
returns -1,0,1) are implicitly converted to a boolean and returned to
the caller. These need to be explicitly compared to 0, and the result
of that comparison returned to the caller.

Fixes #13364
