QuickSort is in-place. It does not require any * temporary storage. * * Objects are not made aware that they are being moved around in memory. * Assignment operators, constructors and destructors are never invoked by the * sort. * * QuickSort runs in O(n*log(n)) time in the average case. It is faster than * mergsort in the average case because it does less moving of data. The * performance of quicksort depends mostly on the choice of pivot. This * implementation picks the pivot as the median of first, middle, last. This * choice of pivot avoids the O(n^2) worst case for input already sorted, but * it is still possible to encounter the O(n^2) worst case. For example an * array of identical elements will run in O(n^2) * * QuickSort is not a stable sort. Elements with the same key will not have * their relative ordering preserved. QuickSort switches to an InsertSort * when the size of the array being sorted is small. This happens when * directly sorting a small array or when QuickSort calls iteself recursively * on a small portion of a larger array. */ /*@}*/ /* QuickSort. */ template class QuickSort : public InsertSort { public: /* Sorting interface routine. */ void sort(T *data, long len); private: /* Recursive worker. */ void doSort(T *start, T *end); T *partition(T *start, T *end); inline T *median(T *start, T *end); }; #define _QS_INSERTION_THRESH 16 /* Finds the median of start, middle, end. */ template T *QuickSort:: median(T *start, T *end) { T *pivot, *mid = start + (end-start)/2; /* CChoose the pivot. */ if ( compare(*start, *mid) < 0 ) { if ( compare(*mid, *end) < 0 ) pivot = mid; else if ( compare(*start, *end) < 0 ) pivot = end; else pivot = start; } else if ( compare(*start, *end) < 0 ) pivot = start; else if ( compare(*mid, *end) < 0 ) pivot = end; else pivot = mid; return pivot; } template T *QuickSort:: partition(T *start, T *end) { /* Use the median of start, middle, end as the pivot.
