module stdlib_sorting
!! This module implements overloaded sorting subroutines named `ORD_SORT`,
!! `SORT_INDEX`, and `SORT`, that each can be used to sort four kinds
!! of `INTEGER` arrays, three kinds of `REAL` arrays, `character(len=*)` arrays,
!! and arrays of `type(string_type)`.
!! ([Specification](../page/specs/stdlib_sorting.html))
!!
!! By default sorting is in order of 
!! increasing value, but there is an option to sort in decreasing order. 
!! All the subroutines have worst case run time performance of `O(N Ln(N))`, 
!! but on largely sorted data `ORD_SORT` and `SORT_INDEX` can have a run time 
!! performance of `O(N)`.
!!
!! `ORD_SORT` is a translation of the `"Rust" sort` sorting algorithm in
!! `slice.rs`:
!! https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/90eb44a5897c39e3dff9c7e48e3973671dcd9496/src/liballoc/slice.rs
!! which in turn is inspired by the `timsort` algorithm of Tim Peters,
!! http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Objects/listsort.txt.
!! `ORD_SORT` is a hybrid stable comparison algorithm combining `merge sort`,
!! and `insertion sort`. It is always at worst O(N Ln(N)) in sorting random
!! data, having a performance about 25% slower than `SORT` on such
!! data, but has much better performance than `SORT` on partially
!! sorted data, having O(N) performance on uniformly non-increasing or
!! non-decreasing data.
!!
!! `SORT_INDEX` is a modification of `ORD_SORT` so that in addition to
!! sorting the input array, it returns the indices that map to a
!! stable sort of the original array. These indices are
!! intended to be used to sort data that is correlated with the input
!! array, e.g., different arrays in a database, different columns of a
!! rank 2 array, different elements of a derived type. It is less
!! efficient than `ORD_SORT` at sorting a simple array.
!!
!! `SORT` uses the `INTROSORT` sorting algorithm of David Musser,
!! http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~musser/gp/introsort.ps. `introsort` is a hybrid
!! unstable comparison algorithm combining `quicksort`, `insertion sort`, and
!! `heap sort`. While this algorithm is always O(N Ln(N)) it is relatively
!! fast on randomly ordered data, but inconsistent in performance on partly
!! sorted data, sometimes having `merge sort` performance, sometimes having
!! better than `quicksort` performance. `UNORD_SOORT` is about 25%
!! more efficient than `ORD_SORT` at sorting purely random data, but af an
!! order of `Ln(N)` less efficient at sorting partially sorted data.

    public ord_sort
!! Version: experimental
!!
!! The generic subroutine implementing the `ORD_SORT` algorithm to return
!! an input array with its elements sorted in order of (non-)decreasing
!! value. Its use has the syntax:
!!
!!     call ord_sort( array[, work, reverse] )
!!
!! with the arguments:
!!
!! * array: the rank 1 array to be sorted. It is an `intent(inout)`
!!   argument of any of the types `integer(int8)`, `integer(int16)`,
!!   `integer(int32)`, `integer(int64)`, `real(real32)`, `real(real64)`,
!!   `real(real128)`, `character(*)`, `type(string_type)`, 
!!   `type(bitset_64)`, `type(bitset_large)`. If both the 
!!   type of `array` is real and at least one of the elements is a 
!!   `NaN`, then the ordering of the result is undefined. Otherwise it 
!!   is defined to be the original elements in non-decreasing order.
!!
!! * work (optional): shall be a rank 1 array of the same type as
!!   `array`, and shall have at least `size(array)/2` elements. It is an
!!   `intent(out)` argument to be used as "scratch" memory
!!   for internal record keeping. If associated with an array in static
!!   storage, its use can significantly reduce the stack memory requirements
!!   for the code. Its value on return is undefined.
!!
!! * `reverse` (optional): shall be a scalar of type default logical. It
!!   is an `intent(in)` argument. If present with a value of `.true.` then
!!   `array` will be sorted in order of non-increasing values in stable
!!   order. Otherwise index will sort `array` in order of non-decreasing
!!   values in stable order.
!!
!!#### Example
!!
!!```fortran
!!    ...
!!    ! Read arrays from sorted files
!!    call read_sorted_file( 'dummy_file1', array1 )
!!    call read_sorted_file( 'dummy_file2', array2 )
!!    ! Concatenate the arrays
!!    allocate( array( size(array1) + size(array2) ) )
!!    array( 1:size(array1) ) = array1(:)
!!    array( size(array1)+1:size(array1)+size(array2) ) = array2(:)
!!    ! Sort the resulting array
!!    call ord_sort( array, work )
!!    ! Process the sorted array
!!    call array_search( array, values )
!!    ...
!!```

    public sort
!! Version: experimental

!!   `real(real128)`, `character(*)`, `type(string_type)`, 
!!   `type(bitset_64)`, `type(bitset_large)`. If both the type
!!   of `array` is real and at least one of the elements is a `NaN`, then
!!   the ordering of the result is undefined. Otherwise it is defined to be the

!! * `reverse` (optional): shall be a scalar of type default logical. It

    public radix_sort
!! Version: experimental
!!
!! The generic subroutine implementing the LSD radix sort algorithm to return
!! an input array with its elements sorted in order of (non-)decreasing
!! value. Its use has the syntax:
!!
!!     call radix_sort( array[, work, reverse] )
!!
!! with the arguments:
!!
!! * array: the rank 1 array to be sorted. It is an `intent(inout)`
!!   argument of any of the types `integer(int8)`, `integer(int16)`,
!!   `integer(int32)`, `integer(int64)`, `real(real32)`, `real(real64)`.
!!   If both the type of `array` is real and at least one of the
!!   elements is a `NaN`, then the ordering of the result is undefined.
!!   Otherwise it is defined to be the original elements in
!!   non-decreasing order. Especially, -0.0 is lesser than 0.0.
!!
!! * work (optional): shall be a rank 1 array of the same type as
!!   `array`, and shall have at least `size(array)` elements. It is an
!!   `intent(inout)` argument to be used as buffer. Its value on return is
!!   undefined. If it is not present, `radix_sort` will allocate a
!!   buffer for use, and deallocate it before return. If you do several
!!   similar `radix_sort`s, reusing the `work` array is a good parctice.
!!   This argument is not present for `int8_radix_sort` because it use
!!   counting sort, so no buffer is needed.
!!
!! * `reverse` (optional): shall be a scalar of type default logical. It
!!   is an `intent(in)` argument. If present with a value of `.true.` then

!! Version: experimental

!! The generic subroutine implementing the `SORT_INDEX` algorithm to

!!     call sort_index( array, index[, work, iwork, reverse ] )
!!
!! with the arguments:

!!   `real(real128)`, `character(*)`, `type(string_type)`, 
!!   `type(bitset_64)`, `type(bitset_large)`. If both the 
!!   type of `array` is real and at least one of the elements is a `NaN`, 
!!   then the ordering of the `array` and `index` results is undefined. 
!!   Otherwise it is defined to be as specified by reverse.
!!
!! * index: a rank 1 array of sorting indices. It is an `intent(out)`
!!   argument of the type `integer(int_size)`. Its size shall be the
!!   same as `array`. On return, if defined, its elements would
!!   sort the input `array` in the direction specified by `reverse`.
!!
!! * work (optional): shall be a rank 1 array of the same type as
!!   `array`, and shall have at least `size(array)/2` elements. It is an
!!   `intent(out)` argument to be used as "scratch" memory
!!   for internal record keeping. If associated with an array in static
!!   storage, its use can significantly reduce the stack memory requirements
!!   for the code. Its value on return is undefined.
!!
!! * iwork (optional): shall be a rank 1 integer array of kind `int_size`,
!!   and shall have at least `size(array)/2` elements. It is an

    interface sort
!! Version: experimental

        pure module subroutine ${name1}$_sort( array, reverse )
!! Version: experimental
!!
!! `${name1}$_sort( array[, reverse] )` sorts the input `ARRAY` of type `${t1}$`
!! using a hybrid sort based on the `introsort` of David Musser.
!! The algorithm is of order O(N Ln(N)) for all inputs.
!! Because it relies on `quicksort`, the coefficient of the O(N Ln(N))
!! behavior is small for random data compared to other sorting algorithms.

    interface sort_index
!! Version: experimental
!!
!! The generic subroutine interface implementing the `SORT_INDEX` algorithm,
!! based on the `"Rust" sort` algorithm found in `slice.rs`
!! https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/90eb44a5897c39e3dff9c7e48e3973671dcd9496/src/liballoc/slice.rs#L2159
!! but modified to return an array of indices that would provide a stable
!! sort of the rank one `ARRAY` input.
!! ([Specification](../page/specs/stdlib_sorting.html#sort_index-creates-an-array-of-sorting-indices-for-an-input-array-while-also-sorting-the-array))
!!
!! The indices by default correspond to a
!! non-decreasing sort, but if the optional argument `REVERSE` is present
!! with a value of `.TRUE.` the indices correspond to a non-increasing sort.
