64/* Order size using quicksort. This implementation incorporates
65 four optimizations discussed in Sedgewick:
66
67 1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the
68 next array partition to sort. To save time, this maximum amount
69 of space required to store an array of SIZE_MAX is allocated on the
70 stack. Assuming a 32-bit (64 bit) integer for size_t, this needs
71 only 32 * sizeof(stack_node) == 256 bytes (for 64 bit: 1024 bytes).
72 Pretty cheap, actually.
73
74 2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree.
75 This reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and
76 eliminates certain extraneous comparisons.
77
78 3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving
79 insertion sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition.
80 This is a big win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly
81 sorted array segments.
82
83 4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the
84 stack first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the
85 smaller partition. This *guarantees* no more than log (total_elems)
86 stack size is needed (actually O(1) in this case)! */
