Low-level intger64 methods for in-RAM sorting and ordering

Fast low-level methods for sorting and ordering. The ..sortorder methods do sorting and ordering at once, which requires more RAM than ordering but is (almost) as fast as as sorting.

Arguments

x: a vector to be sorted by ramsort.integer64() and ramsortorder.integer64(), i.e. the output of sort.integer64()
has.na: boolean scalar defining whether the input vector might contain NAs. If we know we don't have NAs, this may speed-up. Note that you risk a crash if there are unexpected NAs with has.na=FALSE
na.last: boolean scalar telling ramsort whether to sort NAs last or first. Note that 'boolean' means that there is no third option NA as in sort()
decreasing: boolean scalar telling ramsort whether to sort increasing or decreasing
...: further arguments, passed from generics, ignored in methods
i: integer positions to be modified by ramorder.integer64() and ramsortorder.integer64(), default is 1:n, in this case the output is similar to order.integer64()
restlevel: number of remaining recursionlevels before quicksort switches from recursing to shellsort
radixbits: size of radix in bits
stable: boolean scalar defining whether stable sorting is needed. Allowing non-stable may speed-up.
optimize: by default ramsort optimizes for 'time' which requires more RAM, set to 'memory' to minimize RAM requirements and sacrifice speed
VERBOSE: cat some info about chosen method

Value

These functions return the number of NAs found or assumed during sorting

Details

See bit::ramsort()

Note

Note that these methods purposely violate the functional programming paradigm: they are called for the side-effect of changing some of their arguments. The sort-methods change x, the order-methods change i, and the sortoder-methods change both x and i
