- /* void *base; */
- /* size_t nbr_elements, width_bytes; */
- /* int (*compare_function)(const void *, const void *); */

- /* Sorts an array starting at base, of length nbr_elements, each */
- /* element of size width_bytes, ordered via compare_function, */
- /* which is called as (*compare_function)(ptr_to_element1, */

- /* 0 if element1 = element2, > 0 if element1 > element2. */
- /* Most refinements are due to R. Sedgewick. See "Implementing */
