(** {1 Sorting} *)

val sort : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a array -> unit
(** Sort an array in increasing order according to a comparison
   function.  The comparison function must return 0 if its arguments
   compare as equal, a positive integer if the first is greater,
   and a negative integer if the first is smaller (see below for a
   complete specification).  For example, {!Stdlib.compare} is
   a suitable comparison function. After calling [sort], the
   array is sorted in place in increasing order.
   [sort] is guaranteed to run in constant heap space
   and (at most) logarithmic stack space.

   The current implementation uses Heap Sort.  It runs in constant
   stack space.

   Specification of the comparison function:
   Let [a] be the array and [cmp] the comparison function.  The following
   must be true for all [x], [y], [z] in [a] :
-   [cmp x y] > 0 if and only if [cmp y x] < 0
-   if [cmp x y] >= 0 and [cmp y z] >= 0 then [cmp x z] >= 0

   When [sort] returns, [a] contains the same elements as before,
   reordered in such a way that for all i and j valid indices of [a] :
-   [cmp a.(i) a.(j)] >= 0 if and only if i >= j
*)

val stable_sort : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a array -> unit
(** Same as {!sort}, but the sorting algorithm is stable (i.e.
   elements that compare equal are kept in their original order) and
   not guaranteed to run in constant heap space.

   The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It uses a temporary array of
   length [n/2], where [n] is the length of the array.  It is usually faster
   than the current implementation of {!sort}.
*)

val fast_sort : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a array -> unit
(** Same as {!sort} or {!stable_sort}, whichever is
    faster on typical input. *)
