Sorts the given array pointed to by ptr in ascending order. The array contains count elements of size size. Function pointed to by comp is used for object comparison.

Contents

Parameters

ptr - pointer to the array to sort
count - number of element in the array
size - size of each element in the array in bytes
comp - comparison function which returns ​a negative integer value if the first argument is less than the second, a positive integer value if the first argument is greater than the second and zero if the arguments are equivalent.

The signature of the comparison function should be equivalent to the following:

 int cmp(const void *a, const void *b);

The function must not modify the objects passed to it and must return consistent results when called for the same objects, regardless of their positions in the array.

Return value

(none)

Notes

The type of the elements of the array must be a trivial type, otherwise the behavior is undefined.

Example

The following code sorts an array of integers using qsort().

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
 
int compare_ints(const void* a, const void* b)   // comparison function
{
    register auto arg1 = reinterpret_cast<const int*>(a);
    register auto arg2 = reinterpret_cast<const int*>(b);
    return *arg1 - *arg2;
}
 
int main()
{
    int a[] = { -2, 99, 0, -743, 2, 3, 4 };
    constexpr std::size_t size = sizeof(a)/sizeof(int);
 
    std::qsort(a, size, sizeof(int), compare_ints);
 
    for (int ai : a) std::cout << ai << ' ';
}

Output:

-743 -2 0 2 3 4 99
