58/* Order size using quicksort. This implementation incorporates
59 four optimizations discussed in Sedgewick:
60
6d52618b
UD
61 1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the
62 next array partition to sort. To save time, this maximum amount
63 of space required to store an array of MAX_INT is allocated on the
64 stack. Assuming a 32-bit integer, this needs only 32 *
28f540f4
RM
65 sizeof(stack_node) == 136 bits. Pretty cheap, actually.
66
67 2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
6d52618b 68 This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and
28f540f4
RM
69 eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.
70
71 3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
6d52618b 72 insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.
28f540f4 73 This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
6d52618b 74 sorted array segments.
28f540f4
RM
75
76 4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
77 stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
78 smaller partition. This *guarantees* no more than log (n)
79 stack size is needed (actually O(1) in this case)! */
