When you know that your input is already mostly // sorted! This sort is guaranteed stable (it won't reorder elements that were equal), it // doesn't require any scratch memory, and is the fastest available sorting algorithm if your // input already happens to be sorted. This sort is also likely to have competetive performance // for small inputs, even if they are very unsorted. // We use this sorting algorithm for compiler insertion sets. An insertion set is usually very // nearly sorted. It shouldn't take more than a few bubbles to make it fully sorted. We made // this decision deliberately. Here's the performance of the testb3 Complex(64, 384) benchmark // with the Air::InsertionSet doing no sorting, std::stable_sorting, and bubbleSorting: // // no sort: 8.8222 +- 0.1911 ms. // std::stable_sort: 9.0135 +- 0.1418 ms. // bubbleSort: 8.8457 +- 0.1511 ms. // // Clearly, bubble sort is superior. // // Note that the critical piece here is that insertion sets tend to be small, they must be // sorted, the sort must be stable, they are usually already sorted to begin with, and when they // are unsorted it's usually because of a few out-of-place elements. template void bubbleSort(IteratorType begin, IteratorType end, const LessThan& lessThan) { for (;;) { bool changed = false; ASSERT(end >= begin); size_t limit = end - begin; for (size_t i = limit; i-- > 1;) { if (lessThan(begin[i], begin[i - 1])) { std::swap(begin[i], begin[i - 1]); changed = true; } } if (!changed) return; // After one run, the first element in the list is guaranteed to be the smallest. begin++; // Now go in the other direction.
