// Stable sorting that works in O(N*log(N)) worst time
// and uses O(1) extra memory
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// The main idea of the adaptive_sort algorithm was developed by Andrey Astrelin
// and explained in the article from the russian collaborative blog
// Habrahabr (http://habrahabr.ru/post/205290/). The algorithm is based on
// ideas from B-C. Huang and M. A. Langston explained in their article
// "Fast Stable Merging and Sorting in Constant Extra Space (1989-1992)"
// (http://comjnl.oxfordjournals.org/content/35/6/643.full.pdf).
//
// This implementation by Ion Gaztanaga uses previous ideas with additional changes:
//
// - Use of GCD-based rotation.
// - Non power of two buffer-sizes.
// - Tries to find sqrt(len)*2 unique keys, so that the merge sort
//   phase can form up to sqrt(len)*4 segments if enough keys are found.
// - The merge-sort phase can take advantage of external memory to
//   save some additional combination steps.
// - Combination phase: Blocks are selection sorted and merged in parallel.
// - The combination phase is performed alternating merge to left and merge
//   to right phases minimizing swaps due to internal buffer repositioning.
// - When merging blocks special optimizations are made to avoid moving some
//   elements twice.
//
// The adaptive_merge algorithm was developed by Ion Gaztanaga reusing some parts
// from the sorting algorithm and implementing an additional block merge algorithm
// without moving elements to left or right.

// Once elements are merged left to right in blocks of l_build_buf, then a single left

// 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 wheter they
//           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.

//   Explanation of the "combine_blocks" step:

//         * Trailing [first+to_collect, first+len1) elements are divided in groups of cqrtlen elements.
//           Remaining elements that can't form a group are grouped in front of those elements.

//           Remaining elements that can't form a group are grouped in the back of those elements.
//         * In parallel the following two steps are performed:
//             *  Groups are selection-sorted by first or last element (depending wheter they
//                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 "to_collect" elements are merged with rotations
//   with the rest of merged elements in the "combine_blocks" step.
//
// Corner cases:
//
// * If no "to_collect" elements can be extracted:
//
//    * If more than a minimum number of elements is extracted
//      then reduces the number of elements used as buffer and keys in the
//      and "combine_blocks" steps. If "combine_blocks" has no enough keys due to this reduction
