30 * This code requires a typedef named 'list_node' for the list node. It
31 * is assumed that the list type is the type of a pointer to a list
32 * node, and that the node has a field named 'next' that implements to
33 * the linked list. No additional invariant is maintained (e.g. the
34 * 'prev' pointer of a doubly-linked list node is _not_ updated). Any
35 * invariant would require a post-processing pass to fix matters if
36 * necessary.

41 * The maximum possible depth of the merge tree
42 * = ceiling (log2 (maximum number of list nodes))
43 * = ceiling (log2 (maximum possible memory size/size of each list node))
44 * = number of bits in 'size_t' - floor (log2 (sizeof digit))
45 * Also, each list in sort_info is at least 2 nodes long: we can reduce the depth by 1

112 * The 'ranks' array essentially captures the recursion stack of a mergesort.
113 * The merge tree is built in a bottom-up manner. The control loop for
114 * updating the 'ranks' array is analogous to incrementing a binary integer,
115 * and the O(n) time for counting upto n translates to O(n) merges when
116 * inserting rank-0 lists. When we plug in the sizes of the lists involved in
117 * those merges, we get the O(n log n) time for the sort.
119 * Inserting higher-ranked lists reduce the height of the merge tree, and also
120 * eliminate a lot of redundant comparisons when merging two lists that would've
121 * been part of the same run. Adding a rank-i list is analogous to incrementing
122 * a binary integer by 2**i in one operation, thus sharing a similar speedup.
124 * When inserting higher-ranked lists, we choose to clear out the lower ranks
125 * in the interests of keeping the sort stable, but this makes analysis harder.
126 * Note that clearing the lower-ranked lists is O(length(list))-- thus it
127 * shouldn't affect the O(n log n) behaviour. IOW, inserting one rank-i list
128 * is equivalent to inserting 2**i rank-0 lists, thus even if we do i additional
129 * merges in the clearing-out (taking at most 2**i time) we are still fine.
