Some points for the future:
- libc is not the right place for sorting algorithms.
Probably libutil is better suited for this purpose or
a dedicated libsort. Should move all sorting algorithms
away from libc eventually.
- CheriBSD uses capabilities for memory access, and could
benefit from a standard memswap() function.
- Do something about qsort() in FreeBSD's libc like:
- Mark it deprecated on FreeBSD, as a first step,
due to missing limits on CPU time.
- Audit the use of qsort() in the FreeBSD base system
and consider swapping to other existing sorting
algorithms.
