[PATCH] Expose stable sort algorithm to gcc_sort_r and add vec::stablesort

[PATCH] Expose stable sort algorithm to gcc_sort_r and add vec::stablesort

[Richard Biener]

This makes it possible to apply GCCs stable sort algorithm to vec<>
and also use it with the qsort_r compatible interface.

Alex, any comments?

Bootstrapped & tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (with some
not here included changes to actually use stablesort)

2021-06-10  Richard Biener  <rguenther@suse.de>

	* system.h (gcc_stablesort_r): Declare.
	* sort.cc (gcc_sort_r): Support stable sort.
	(gcc_stablesort_r): Define.
	* vec.h (vec<>::stablesort): Add.

I'm afraid the patch is not correct, see below; (I'll also point out
errors in comments while at it).

"Glibc qsort_r" (no _r variant in C, and BSD signature differs).

Not with 'qsort', but gcc_stablesort_r.

I think this is wrong. You're passing inverted size to gcc_stablesort_r, which
will invert it again, and you end up with normal non-stable sorting function.

With that fixed, I think the patch would be correct.

Like above, copy-paste issue in comment.

Whoops - thanks for noticing.  This is what you get when copy-editing
adding gcc_stablesort_r in (which I had originally omitted) ...

Fixed, re-bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and pushed.

Thanks,
Richard.
