Unlike the mpsort module, the algorithm here attempts to minimize not only the number of comparisons, but also the number of copying operations. Before including this file, you need to define ELEMENT The type of every array element. COMPARE A two-argument macro that takes two 'const ELEMENT *' pointers and returns a negative, zero, or positive 'int' value if the element pointed to by the first argument is, respectively, less, equal, or greater than the element pointed to by the second argument. STATIC The storage class of the functions being defined. STATIC_FROMTO (Optional.) Overrides STATIC for the 'merge_sort_fromto' function. Before including this file, you also need to include: #include */ /* Merge the sorted arrays src1[0..n1-1] and src2[0..n2-1] into dst[0..n1+n2-1].
