Actually GCC has been carrying around its very own implementation of sort algorithms in libstdc++. It's just not being used for the compiler itself. Because before GCC was compiled as C, using them was impossible. But now that it's compiled as C++, why not just use the algos from GCC's libstdc++? Cheers, Oleg
