Function template spreadsort

boost::sort::spreadsort::spreadsort — Generic spreadsort variant detecting string element type so call to string_sort for std::wstrings.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/sort/spreadsort/spreadsort.hpp>


template<typename RandomAccessIter> 
  boost::enable_if_c< is_same< typename std::iterator_traits< RandomAccessIter >::value_type, typename std::wstring >::value &&sizeof(wchar_t)==2, void >::type 
  spreadsort(RandomAccessIter first, RandomAccessIter last);

Description

If the data type provided is a wstring, string_sort is used.

	Note
	Sorting other data types requires picking between `integer_sort`, `float_sort` and `string_sort` directly, as `spreadsort` won't accept types that don't have the appropriate `type_traits`. Also, 2-byte wide-characters are the limit above which string_sort is inefficient, so on platforms with wider characters, this will not accept wstrings.

Parameters:

`first`	Iterator pointer to first element.
`last`	Iterator pointing to one beyond the end of data.

Requires:

[first, last) is a valid range.

RandomAccessIter value_type is mutable.

RandomAccessIter value_type is LessThanComparable

RandomAccessIter value_type supports the operator>>, which returns an integer-type right-shifted a specified number of bits.

Postconditions:

The elements in the range [first, last) are sorted in ascending order.
