//
// First elements are merged from right to left until elements start
// at first. All old elements [first, first + l_build_buf) are placed at the end
// [first+len-l_build_buf, first+len). To achieve this:
// - If we have external memory to merge, we save elements from the buffer
//   so that a non-swapping merge is used. Buffer elements are restored
//   at the end of the buffer from the external memory.
//
// - When the external memory is not available or it is insufficient
//   for a merge operation, left swap merging is used.
//
// Once elements are merged left to right in blocks of l_build_buf, then a single left
// to right merge step is performed to achieve merged blocks of size 2K.
// If external memory is available, usual merge is used, swap merging otherwise.
//
// As a last step, if auxiliary memory is available in-place merge is performed.
// until all is merged or auxiliary memory is not large enough.

// Main explanation of the sort algorithm.
//
// csqrtlen = ceil(sqrt(len));
//
// * First, 2*csqrtlen unique elements elements are extracted from elements to be
//   sorted and placed in the beginning of the range.
//
// * Step "build_blocks": In this nearly-classic merge step, 2*csqrtlen unique elements
//   will be used as auxiliary memory, so trailing len-2*csqrtlen elements are
//   are grouped in blocks of sorted 4*csqrtlen elements. At the end of the step
//   2*csqrtlen unique elements are again the leading elements of the whole range.
//
// * Step "combine_blocks": pairs of previously formed blocks are merged with a different
//   ("smart") algorithm to form blocks of 8*csqrtlen elements. This step is slower than the
//   "build_blocks" step and repeated iteratively (forming blocks of 16*csqrtlen, 32*csqrtlen
//   elements, etc) of until all trailing (len-2*csqrtlen) elements are merged.
//
//   In "combine_blocks" len/csqrtlen elements used are as "keys" (markers) to
//   know if elements belong to the first or second block to be merged and another 
//   leading csqrtlen elements are used as buffer. Explanation of the "combine_blocks" step:
//
//   Iteratively until all trailing (len-2*csqrtlen) elements are merged:
//      Iteratively for each pair of previously merged block:
//         * Blocks are divided groups of csqrtlen elements and
//           2*merged_block/csqrtlen keys are sorted to be used as markers
//         * Groups are selection-sorted by first or last element (depending whether they are going
//           to be merged to left or right) and keys are reordered accordingly as an imitation-buffer.
//         * Elements of each block pair are merged using the csqrtlen buffer taking into account
//           if they belong to the first half or second half (marked by the key).
//
// * In the final merge step leading elements (2*csqrtlen) are sorted and merged with
//   rotations with the rest of sorted elements in the "combine_blocks" step.
//
// Corner cases:
//
// * If no 2*csqrtlen elements can be extracted:
//
//    * If csqrtlen+len/csqrtlen are extracted, then only csqrtlen elements are used
//      as buffer in the "build_blocks" step forming blocks of 2*csqrtlen elements. This
//      means that an additional "combine_blocks" step will be needed to merge all elements.
//    
//    * If no csqrtlen+len/csqrtlen elements can be extracted, but still more than a minimum,
//      then reduces the number of elements used as buffer and keys in the "build_blocks"
//      and "combine_blocks" steps. If "combine_blocks" has no enough keys due to this reduction
//      then uses a rotation based smart merge.
//
//    * If the minimum number of keys can't be extracted, a rotation-based sorting is performed.
//
// * If auxiliary memory is more or equal than ceil(len/2), half-copying mergesort is used.
//
// * If auxiliary memory is more than csqrtlen+n_keys*sizeof(std::size_t),
//   then only csqrtlen elements need to be extracted and "combine_blocks" will use integral
//   keys to combine blocks.
//
// * If auxiliary memory is available, the "build_blocks" will be extended to build bigger blocks
//   using classic merge and "combine_blocks" will use bigger blocks when merging.

//! <b>Effects</b>: Sorts the elements in the range [first, last) in ascending order according
//!   to comparison functor "comp". The sort is stable (order of equal elements
//!   is guaranteed to be preserved). Performance is improved if additional raw storage is
//!   provided.
//!
//! <b>Requires</b>:
//!   - RandIt must meet the requirements of ValueSwappable and RandomAccessIterator.
//!   - The type of dereferenced RandIt must meet the requirements of MoveAssignable and MoveConstructible.
//!
//! <b>Parameters</b>:
//!   - first, last: the range of elements to sort
//!   - comp: comparison function object which returns true if the first argument is is ordered before the second.
//!   - uninitialized, uninitialized_len: raw storage starting on "uninitialized", able to hold "uninitialized_len"
//!      elements of type iterator_traits<RandIt>::value_type. Maximum performance is achieved when uninitialized_len
//!      is ceil(std::distance(first, last)/2).
//!
//! <b>Throws</b>: If comp throws or the move constructor, move assignment or swap of the type
//!   of dereferenced RandIt throws.
//!
//! <b>Complexity</b>: Always K x O(Nxlog(N)) comparisons and move assignments/constructors/swaps.
//!   Comparisons are close to minimum even with no additional memory. Constant factor for data movement is minimized
//!   when uninitialized_len is ceil(std::distance(first, last)/2). Pretty good enough performance is achieved when
//!   ceil(sqrt(std::distance(first, last)))*2.
//!
//! <b>Caution</b>: Experimental implementation, not production-ready.
