quicksort template

I want to write a generic quicksort over STL containers. We have to
parallelize this algorithm afterwards. This is what I've got for now:
template<typena me containerIterat or>
void quicksort(conta inerIterator begin, containerIterat or end){

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *ifÂ*(endÂ*>Â*b egin){
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Â*containerIter atorÂ*pivot(beg in);
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Â*containerIter atorÂ*newPivot( partition(begin ,Â*end,Â*pivot) );
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Â*quicksort(beg in,Â*--newPivot);
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* Â*quicksort(++n ewPivot,Â*end);
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *}
}
template<typena me containerIterat or>
containerIterat or partition(conta inerIterator begin, containerIterat or end,
containerIterat or pivot){

Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *//whatÂ*IÂ*wantÂ* hereÂ*isÂ*toÂ*s toreÂ*theÂ*valu eÂ*ofÂ*theÂ*piv ot,
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *//soÂ*somethingÂ* like:Â*
Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â *pivotValue(*pi vot);
}
Problem is I don't know the type of this value at this stage.
Should I include it in the templateparamet ers?

No need. If T is an iterator type, then std::iterator_t raits<T>::value _type
is the type that is obtained by dereferencing T.

std::iterator_t raits<T>::value _type is the type that is obtained by
dereferencing T.


And 'iterator type' includes pointers.

What is the best way to solve this? something like using --newPivot++ in the
first expression? Or is there another way?

I want to make a quicksort algorithm that can take both a vector and a list. This is the code I've got. But I also want to give an argument that will be used for comparing the elements. I am used to programming in Lisp/Scheme, where I would just pass a lambda. Is a function object something like that in C++? And in that case, how would I pass the function/operator < (lesser then). //quicksort template<typename BidirectionalIterator>...

just paste the below into notepad, call it iqsort.html double click it and your IE browser will run it. (neat! a universal programming language we can all run!) it falls out from the sort procedure. I got javascript quicksort running, it's quick but it gets stack overflow after about 5000 elements. Am I passing the array as a parameter alright? I think javascript default is to pass pointers, that can be global.

Hey, Here is the pseudocode of quicksort. It can be observed that there are as many as (n-1) unresolved stack calls in the worst case. Now, how do i reduce this unresolved stack calls? what modifications should I make? procedure QuickSort(L, low, high) recursive Input: L (a list of size n), low, high (integers) Output: L is sorted if high > low then

Hi, I want to sort an array of pointers, each position of this array point to a position in an integer array. There is a strange behavior when the 'pivot' is '0'. I am using Visual C++, and when executing the OS tell me "quicksort.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". When there is no zeros in the integer array, this doesn't happen. The pivot is always the last element. Try to change the last element in the array for a non...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
