/* The code here is an optimized merge sort. Starting from a generic merge sort
* the following optimizations were applied:
*
* o Batching of memcpy() calls: Instead of calling memcpy() to copy each and
* every element into a temporary buffer, blocks of elements are copied
* at a time.
*
* o To reduce the number of memcpy() calls further, copying leading
* and trailing elements into our temporary buffer is avoided, in case it is
* not necessary to merge them.
*
* A further optimization could be to specialize memcpy calls based on the
* size of the types we compare. For now, this code does not include the
* relevant optimization, as clang e.g. inlines a very efficient memcpy()
* implementation. It is not clear, that the specialized version as provided in
* the blog post, is really superior to the one that will be inlined by
* default. So we decided to keep the code simple until this optimization was
* proven to be beneficial.
