§Description

This small crate provides functions for sorting arrays and slices of primitives in const contexts.

Arrays and slices of bools, u8s, and i8s are sorted with counting sort while arrays of other types are sorted with quicksort. All types except bool are sorted with insertion sort if the length is small.

This implementation is usable on Rust version 1.54.0, before the const_trait_impl feature is stabilized. This means that it unfortunately can not be generic, and so there are separate functions for every primitive type.

Functions with the naming convention into_sorted_*_array take an array by value, and functions with the naming convention sort_*_slice take a mutable reference to a slice.

The functions that sort slices by reference are only available on Rust versions 1.83 and above, as are the functions that sort floats as they need {float}::to_bits to be const in order to generate a total ordering in accordance with {float}::total_cmp.

§Examples

Sort an array by value:

use compile_time_sort::into_sorted_i32_array;

const ARRAY: [i32; 5] = [-3, 3, 2, i32::MAX, 0];
const SORTED_ARRAY: [i32; 5] = into_sorted_i32_array(ARRAY);

assert_eq!(SORTED_ARRAY, [-3, 0, 2, 3, i32::MAX]);

Sort by reference:

use compile_time_sort::sort_i32_slice;

const SORTED_ARRAY: [i32; 5] = {
    let mut arr = [5, i32::MIN, 0, -2, 0];
    sort_i32_slice(&mut arr);
    arr
};

assert_eq!(SORTED_ARRAY, [i32::MIN, -2, 0, 0, 5]);
