快速排序（quickSort） Golang实现（源码）

// maxDepth returns a threshold at which quicksort should switch
// to heapsort. It returns 2*ceil(lg(n+1)).
func maxDepth(n int) int {
	var depth int
	for i := n; i > 0; i >>= 1 {
		depth++
	}
	return depth * 2
}

// Sort sorts data.
// It makes one call to data.Len to determine n and O(n*log(n)) calls to
// data.Less and data.Swap. The sort is not guaranteed to be stable.
func Sort(data Interface) {
	n := data.Len()
	quickSort(data, 0, n, maxDepth(n))
}

func quickSort(data Interface, a, b, maxDepth int) {
	for b-a > 12 { // Use ShellSort for slices <= 12 elements
		if maxDepth == 0 {
			heapSort(data, a, b)
			return
		}
		maxDepth--
		mlo, mhi := doPivot(data, a, b)
		// Avoiding recursion on the larger subproblem guarantees
		// a stack depth of at most lg(b-a).
		if mlo-a < b-mhi {
			quickSort(data, a, mlo, maxDepth)
			a = mhi // i.e., quickSort(data, mhi, b)
		} else {
			quickSort(data, mhi, b, maxDepth)
			b = mlo // i.e., quickSort(data, a, mlo)
		}
	}
	if b-a > 1 {
		// Do ShellSort pass with gap 6
		// It could be written in this simplified form cause b-a <= 12
		for i := a + 6; i < b; i++ {
			if data.Less(i, i-6) {
				data.Swap(i, i-6)
			}
		}
		insertionSort(data, a, b)
	}
