Function template spreadsort

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

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::string >::value, void >::type 
  spreadsort(RandomAccessIter first, RandomAccessIter last);

Description

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

[Note] 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.

Parameters:

first

Iterator pointer to first element.

last

Iterator pointing to one beyond the end of data.

Requires:

[first, last) is a valid range.

Requires:

RandomAccessIter value_type is mutable.

Requires:

RandomAccessIter value_type is LessThanComparable

Requires:

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.
