Last year I worked on SixSort, an inplace, single thread sorter that beats every quicksort variant I can find, including qsort in the C-library. Except qsort is still faster on small arrays. The cross-over point depends on the platform. Hence I want to see the Cygwin source of qsort.
Q1 Is the Cygwin qsort source available? Qsort must hide in library because a search in the Cygwin space yields nothing, not even a man page (reported in 2005). The 'Cygwin in CVS' page scares the chicken out of me. Its link http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/?cvsroot=src is a dead end because its utils-link yields nothing. Q2 Any advice how to dig into CVS? ... Q3 ... or is there a short cut to get the qsort source? -- Dennis de Champeaux ddcc AT ontooo DOT com & ddcc AT rs6.risingnet DOT net Cell: 408 981 9109 SkypeID: renaissance98 Address: 14519 Bercaw Ln, San Jose, CA 95124, USA Home page: rs6.risingnet.net/~ddcc Health Info Anytime for Everyone: www.HealthCheck4Me.info Exercise for the Mind: www.SuDoKuChallenge.us Marketing site: www.OntoOO.com >> Do NOT buy Dell, Mac, Ford, Chrysler << -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
