Cast_type
Floating-point IEEE 754/IEC559 type.
Integer type (same size) to which to cast.
const Data_type &Casts a float to the specified integer type.
Example:struct rightshift {
int operator()(const DATA_TYPE &x, const unsigned offset) const {
return float_mem_cast<KEY_TYPE, CAST_TYPE>(x.key) >> offset;

osx_float_sortA simple example of sorting some floating-point is:vector<float> vec;
vec.push_back(1.0);
vec.push_back(2.3);
vec.push_back(1.3);
spreadsort(vec.begin(), vec.end());
The sorted vector contains ascending values "1.0 1.3 2.3".

(All variants fall back to boost::sort::pdqsort if the data size is too small, < detail::min_sort_size). integer_sort is a fast templated in-place hybrid radix/comparison algorithm, which in testing tends to be roughly 50% to 2X faster than std::sort for large tests (>=100kB).
Worst-case performance is O(N * (lg(range)/s + s)) , so integer_sort is asymptotically faster than pure comparison-based algorithms. s is max_splits, which defaults to 11, so its worst-case with default settings for 32-bit integers is O(N * ((32/11) slow radix-based iterations fast comparison-based iterations).

(All variants fall back to boost::sort::pdqsort if the data size is too small, < detail::min_sort_size).string_sort is a fast templated in-place hybrid radix/comparison algorithm, which in testing tends to be roughly 50% to 2X faster than std::sort for large tests (>=100kB).
Worst-case performance is O(N * (lg(range)/s + s)) , so string_sort is asymptotically faster than pure comparison-based algorithms.

Throwing an exception may cause data loss. This will also throw if a small vector resize throws, in which case there will be no data loss.
Invalid arguments cause undefined behaviour.
