Merges two consecutive sorted ranges [firstmiddle) and [middlelast) into one sorted range [firstlast).

A sequence is said to be sorted with respect to the comparator comp and projection proj if for any iterator it pointing to the sequence and any non-negative integer n such that it + n is a valid iterator pointing to an element of the sequence, std::invoke(comp, std::invoke(proj, *(it + n)), std::invoke(proj, *it))) evaluates to false.

This merge function is stable, which means that for equivalent elements in the original two ranges, the elements from the first range (preserving their original order) precede the elements from the second range (preserving their original order).

1) Elements are compared using the given binary comparison function comp and projection object proj, and the ranges must be sorted with respect to the same.
2) Same as (1), but uses r as the range, as if using ranges::begin(r) as first, and ranges::end(r) as last.

The function-like entities described on this page are niebloids, that is:

In practice, they may be implemented as function objects, or with special compiler extensions.

Contents

Parameters

first - the beginning of the first sorted range
middle - the end of the first range and the beginning of the second range
last - the end of the second sorted range
r - the range of elements to merge inplace
comp - comparison to apply to the projected elements
proj - projection to apply to the elements in the range

Return value

An iterator equal to last.

Complexity

Exactly N − 1 comparisons, if additional memory buffer is available, where N = ranges::distance(first, last). Otherwise, 𝓞(N•log(N)) comparisons. Additionally, twice as many projections as comparisons in both cases.

Notes

This function attempts to allocate a temporary buffer. If the allocation fails, the less efficient algorithm is chosen.

Possible implementation

This implementation only shows the slower algorithm used when no additional memory is available. See also the implementation in MSVC STL and libstdc++.

Example

#include <algorithm>
#include <complex>
#include <functional>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <vector>
 
void print(auto const& v, auto const& rem, int middle = -1)
{
    for (int i{}; auto n : v)
        std::cout << (i++ == middle ? "│ " : "") << n << ' ';
    std::cout << rem << '\n';
}
 
template<std::random_access_iterator I, std::sentinel_for<I> S>
requires std::sortable<I>
void merge_sort(I first, S last)
{
    if (last - first > 1)
    {
        I middle{first + (last - first) / 2};
        merge_sort(first, middle);
        merge_sort(middle, last);
        std::ranges::inplace_merge(first, middle, last);
    }
}
 
int main()
{
    // custom merge-sort demo
    std::vector v{8, 2, 0, 4, 9, 8, 1, 7, 3};
    print(v, ": before sort");
    merge_sort(v.begin(), v.end());
    print(v, ": after sort\n");
 
    // merging with comparison function object and projection
    using CI = std::complex<int>;
    std::vector<CI> r{{0,1}, {0,2}, {0,3}, {1,1}, {1,2}};
    const auto middle{std::ranges::next(r.begin(), 3)};
    auto comp{std::ranges::less{}};
    auto proj{[](CI z) { return z.imag(); }};
 
    print(r, ": before merge", middle - r.begin());
    std::ranges::inplace_merge(r, middle, comp, proj);
    print(r, ": after merge");
}

Output:

8 2 0 4 9 8 1 7 3 : before sort
0 1 2 3 4 7 8 8 9 : after sort
 
(0,1) (0,2) (0,3) │ (1,1) (1,2) : before merge
(0,1) (1,1) (0,2) (1,2) (0,3) : after merge
