This
is definitely a mistake, the macro should still have been usable for sorting and
it isn't now.
It
looks like the only occurrences in slapd are using it for simple yes/no match,
which is probably
why it
wasn't noticed.

I note that the behaviour of ad_cmp() has changed
recently, to return 1 if the strings are unequal lengths. Whilst this is
obviously a good optimisation, it breaks anything that depends on the result
being a lexicographical comparison of two attribute types. (We had used
ad_cmp() to build an AVL tree in our backend.)
Just thought I'd point this out, as it took me a
while to track down in our code. I haven't checked the rest of slapd to see
whether it is used in this fashion.
cheers,
