vqsort-rs

Rust bindings for the Google Highway's vectorized quicksort.

The sorting algorithm is very fast as seen in a research and far outperforms the standard Rust sort_unstable. However, it can only be used with primitive integers and floats.

Example

let mut data = [5, 3, 8, 0, -100];
vqsort_rs::sort(&mut data);
assert_eq!(data, [-100, 0, 3, 5, 8]);

vqsort_rs::sort_descending(&mut data);
assert_eq!(data, [8, 5, 3, 0, -100]);

Miri

When testing with Miri, the crate resorts to sort_unstable, since Miri doesn't support FFI.
