           Summary: std.algorithm.sort fails with SwapStrategy.stable
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: johannespfau gmail.com

Created an attachment (id=704)
test case

When using SwapStrategy.stable with std.algorithms sort function, I get
partially wrong results. It works fine with SwapStrategy.unstable. It also
asserts: "core.exception.AssertError std.algorithm(4021): Assertion failure"
(the assert is "assert(isSorted!(lessFun)(r));")

Tested with dmd 2.047 and phobos 2.047.
A test case is attached.

I don't know if it helps, but I've got a similar failure with this program:

import std.algorithm;
void main() {
  sort!("a<b", SwapStrategy.stable)(
    [83, 42, 85, 86, 87, 22, 89, 30, 91, 46, 93, 94, 95, 6,
     97, 14, 33, 10, 101, 102, 103, 26, 105, 106, 107, 6]
  );
}

It returns:

core.exception.AssertError /usr/include/d/std/algorithm.d(6662): Failed to sort
range of type int[]. Actual result is: [6, 42, 85, 86, 87, 22, 89, 30]...

(With the git version of dmd2 and libphobos2 from 21 oct. 2011.)

Oh well, Johannes' test case actually works fine here, so my bug might be a
different one. Unless the value of optimisticInsertionSortGetsBetter in
sortImpl() was < 13 at the time...

By experimenting with arrays of growing length filled with random numbers, it
becomes clear that my bug happens for arrays of length 26 and never for a
smaller length, which hints at a bug in the "pivot" (quick?) sort.

Hit this issue in my project. As part of normalization process codepoints are
_stably_ sorted by their canonical combining class.
Can dig up a bunch of cases if required but the end result is it rarely works.

I have seen this: https://github.com/blackwhale/phobos/commit/23a1cd0b7fac5b4480fee060e240ddda29bed54e So is this problem caused by a DMD bug? If this is true are you able to create a minimal example of the bug? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

No, it's just that $ works only with arrays (still). And in order for sort(zip(...)) to work I need this minor fix. The bug with stable sort was there for 2 years now and I don't realy know the cause. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------

I've written a collection of sorting algorithms for D:
https://github.com/Xinok/XSort

I recommend using timsort.d or stablesort.d. mergesort.d is a generic
implementation. stablequicksort.d is not recommended.

I've extensively tested each of these modules and can confirm they're stable.
More so, they're many times faster than the stable sort in Phobos. Lastly,
there are no issues regarding the dollar token $ (range.length is used as
necessary).

I provide all of these modules to the public domain. That means anybody is free
to implement any of these modules into Phobos.

Yeah, I recall you had some great stuff on this. Thanks for showing up.

Great, I'll look into making a pull request to do just that. With a proper attribution, of course. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
