    jump_label: Sort entries of the same key by the code · 0f133021
    Daniel Bristot de Oliveira authored
    In the batching mode, all the entries of a given key are updated at once.
    During the update of a key, a hit in the int3 handler will check if the
    hitting code address belongs to one of these keys.
    
    To optimize the search of a given code in the vector of entries being
    updated, a binary search is used. The binary search relies on the order
    of the entries of a key by its code. Hence the keys need to be sorted
    by the code too, so sort the entries of a given key by the code.
