75 /* Order size using quicksort. This implementation incorporates
76 * four optimizations discussed in Sedgewick:
78 * 1. Non-recursive, using an explicit stack of pointer that store the next
79 * array partition to sort. To save time, this maximum amount of space
80 * required to store an array of MAX_INT is allocated on the stack. Assuming
81 * a 32-bit integer, this needs only 32 * sizeof(stack_node) == 136 bits.
82 * Pretty cheap, actually.
84 * 2. Chose the pivot element using a median-of-three decision tree. This
85 * reduces the probability of selecting a bad pivot value and eliminates
86 * certain * extraneous comparisons.
88 * 3. Only quicksorts TOTAL_ELEMS / MAX_THRESH partitions, leaving insertion
89 * sort to order the MAX_THRESH items within each partition. This is a big
90 * win, since insertion sort is faster for small, mostly sorted array
93 * 4. The larger of the two sub-partitions is always pushed onto the stack
94 * first, with the algorithm then concentrating on the smaller partition.
95 * This *guarantees* no more than log (n) stack size is needed (actually O(1)
