Timo Boehme commented on PDFBOX-2996:
-------------------------------------
I had a look on the QuickSort.java attachment. First it is still a recursive
algorithm - and I thought an iterative version was proposed to overcome the
Stackoverflow exception? Second the implementation seems to be broken - I ran a
2-element test (in my head), say a list of \{2,1\}. 2 is pivot; {{i}} is
incremented, {{j}} not decremented -> {{i==j}} -> we have a (nonsense swap) and
{{i=2; j=0}}. Thus the list comes out unchanged.
It seems you should think about the algorithm in depth again and maybe if a
true iterative version is possible.
