/* This is a drop-in replacement for the C library's |qsort()| routine.
 *
 * It is intended for use where you know or suspect that your
 * platform's qsort is bad. If that isn't the case, then you
 * should probably use the qsort your system gives you in preference
 * to mine -- it will likely have been tested and tuned better.
 *
 * Features:
 *   - Median-of-three pivoting (and more)
 *   - Truncation and final polishing by a single insertion sort
 *   - Early truncation when no swaps needed in pivoting step
 *   - Explicit recursion, guaranteed not to overflow
 *   - A few little wrinkles stolen from the GNU |qsort()|.
 *     (For the avoidance of doubt, no code was stolen, only
 *     broad ideas.)
 *   - separate code for non-aligned / aligned / word-size objects
 *
 * Earlier releases of this code used an idiosyncratic licence
 * I wrote myself, because I'm an idiot. The code is now released
 * under the "zlib/libpng licence"; you will find the actual
 * terms in the next comment. I request (but do not require)
 * that if you make any changes beyond the name of the exported
 * routine and reasonable tweaks to the TRUNC_* and
 * PIVOT_THRESHOLD values, you modify the _ID string so as
 * to make it clear that you have changed the code.
 *
 * If you find problems with this code, or find ways of
 * making it significantly faster, please let me know!

 * foreseeable future, is

/* Some comments on the implementation.
 * 1. When we finish partitioning the array into "low"
 *    and "high", we forget entirely about short subarrays,
 *    because they'll be done later by insertion sort.
 *    Doing lots of little insertion sorts might be a win
 *    on large datasets for locality-of-reference reasons,
 *    but it makes the code much nastier and increases
 *    bookkeeping overhead.
 * 2. We always save the shorter and get to work on the
 *    longer. This guarantees that every time we push
 *    an item onto the stack its size is <= 1/2 of that
 *    of its parent; so the stack can't need more than
 *    log_2(max-array-size) entries.
 * 3. We choose a pivot by looking at the first, last
 *    and middle elements. We arrange them into order
 *    because it's easy to do that in conjunction with
 *    choosing the pivot, and it makes things a little
 *    easier in the partitioning step. Anyway, the pivot
 *    is the middle of these three. It's still possible
 *    to construct datasets where the algorithm takes
 *    time of order n^2, but it simply never happens in
 *    practice.
 * 3' Newsflash: On further investigation I find that
 *    it's easy to construct datasets where median-of-3
 *    simply isn't good enough. So on large-ish subarrays
 *    we do a more sophisticated pivoting: we take three
 *    sets of 3 elements, find their medians, and then
 *    take the median of those.
 * 4. We copy the pivot element to a separate place
 *    because that way we can always do our comparisons
 *    directly against a pointer to that separate place,
 *    and don't have to wonder "did we move the pivot
 *    element?". This makes the inner loop better.
 * 5. It's possible to make the pivoting even more
 *    reliable by looking at more candidates when n
 *    is larger. (Taking this to its logical conclusion
 *    results in a variant of quicksort that doesn't
 *    have that n^2 worst case.) However, the overhead
 *    from the extra bookkeeping means that it's just
 *    not worth while.
 * 6. This is pretty clean and portable code. Here are
 *    all the potential portability pitfalls and problems
 *    I know of:
 *      - In one place (the insertion sort) I construct
 *        a pointer that points just past the end of the
 *        supplied array, and assume that (a) it won't
 *        compare equal to any pointer within the array,
 *        and (b) it will compare equal to a pointer
 *        obtained by stepping off the end of the array.
 *        These might fail on some segmented architectures.
 *      - I assume that there are 8 bits in a |char| when
 *        computing the size of stack needed. This would
 *        fail on machines with 9-bit or 16-bit bytes.
 *      - I assume that if |((int)base&(sizeof(int)-1))==0|
 *        and |(size&(sizeof(int)-1))==0| then it's safe to
 *        get at array elements via |int*|s, and that if
 *        actually |size==sizeof(int)| as well then it's
 *        safe to treat the elements as |int|s. This might
 *        fail on systems that convert pointers to integers
 *        in non-standard ways.
 *      - I assume that |8*sizeof(size_t)<=INT_MAX|. This
 *        would be false on a machine with 8-bit |char|s,
 *        16-bit |int|s and 4096-bit |size_t|s. :-)
