K&R的快速排序是优秀编码的例子，但并不是快速排序工作原理的好示例。预交换的目的不直观，而身份置换则效率低下且令人困惑。我编写了一个程序来帮助澄清这一点。代码注释解释了这些问题。
我只在Linux下编译和测试过，但Visual Studio应该没有问题，可以使用这个简单的控制台应用程序。
/***************************** QUICK.CPP ***************************************
Author: David McCracken
Updated: 2009-08-14
Purpose: This illustrates the operation of the quicksort in K&R "The C
Programming Language" (second edition p. 120). Many programmers are frustrated
when they attempt to understand quicksort in general from this version, which
was clearly not intended as a tutorial on quicksort but on the use of pointers
to functions. My program modifies the original to work only on ints in order to
focus on the sorting process. It can print the global list and recursive
sublist at each change to trace the sorting decision process. My program also
clarifies two confusing aspects, both involving unexplained swapping, of the
original by comparing its operation to that of two further modified versions.
One confusing thing that the original does is to swap an item with itself.
The code (modified for ints only) is:
last = left;
for( i = left+1 ; i <= right ; i++ )
if( v[i] < v[ left ] )
swap( v[ ++last ], v[ i ]);
Note that left and v[ left ] are loop-invariant. v[ left ] is the pivot.
A superfluous swap is performed on all values less than the pivot without an
earlier value greater than the pivot. For example, given sublist (after
preswap) 9,8,5,7,4,6, initially i = left + 1, selecting 8. Since this is less
than 9, last is incremented to point to the same element as i (selecting 8) and
a superfluous swap is performed. At the next iteration, last selects 8 while i
selects 5 and 5 is swapped with itself. This continues to the end of the
sublist. The sorting function krQuick2 is identical to krQuick but tests ++last
against i to avoid superfluous swapping. This certainly yields better
performance for practically no cost but, more importantly, helps to clarify
just what the code is trying to do, which is to find and swap a value that is
larger than the pivot with one that occurs later and is smaller than the pivot.
A second source of confusion is the purpose of the preswap, where the midpoint
value is swapped with the left-most. Since this is done without regard to
value, it cannot decrease entropy. In fact, it does exactly the opposite in the
very important case of a sublist that is already sorted, which normally makes
quicksort perform badly. This action deliberately unsorts a sorted list and
essentially does nothing to an unsorted one. This simple and cheap action
substantially improves average and worst case performance, as demonstrated by
the third variation, quick3, which just removes the preswap from krQuick2.
quick3 demonstrates that the preswap is not required; in fact that any value
can be chosen from the list to serve as the pivot. Only in the most unsorted
cases does quick3 exhibit slightly better performance than krQuick2 by virture
of skipping the preswap. With increasing initial order, the performance of
krQuick2 steadily improves over quick3.
Some confusion may also come from the testing of v[i] against v[left]. left and
v[ left ] are loop-invariant. An optimizing compiler should recognize this and
hoist the value out of the loop, but this loop-invariance is not immediately
obvious to someone studying this as an example of quicksort. During the swap
loop, v[left] serves only to hold the pivot value. An automatic could just as
easily hold the value and its purpose would be more clear. However, the code is
an example of indirection. We don't know what the list items are but we can be
sure that any one of them can fit into v[ left ] and that the swap function can
put it there. Thus, the one preswap operation does three things; it randomizes
a sorted sublist; it conveniently copies the pivot to a place where it won't be
subject to swapping; and it fills the hole in the loop left by extracting the
pivot. It does all of this without even knowing what the elements are and with
a function that we already have. This amazing programming feat is well worth
studying but not in the interest of understanding quicksort.
HOW TO USE THIS PROGRAM
There are three general variables, the function, the data to be sorted, and what
to display.
The simplified K&R original function, krQuick, is function 0. Function 1,
krQuick2, is krQuick with identity swaps removed. Function 2, quick3, is
krQuick2 without preswap.
The data to be sorted can be any one of five builtin lists or all of them or
a space-delimited list of decimal ints entered on the command line.
The displayed information affords a trace of the function's operation. In all
cases, the list is displayed before and after sorting, and executing statistics
are reported. If SHOW_NOTHING then nothing else is reported. If SHOW_GLOBAL,
the changing full list is displayed at each invocation of the recursive sort
function. If SHOW_LOCAL1, the sublist passed to the function is displayed before
it is modified. If SHOW_LOCAL, the sublist is displayed after each swap. If
SHOW_INDEX, the indices involved in swapping and the values at those indices
are shown before the swap occurs.These selections correspond to the SHOW_ enum
and are culmulative flags.
By default, all three functions are applied in succession to all five builtin
data lists, with SHOW_NOTHING. This is useful for comparing the performance of
the functions. For example, it shows that on the unordered list 11 0 10 1 9 2 8
3 7 4 6 5 quick3 uses 37 compares and 30 swaps while krQuick2 uses 38 compares
and 44 swaps. However, on the ordered list 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 quick3
uses 66 compares and 22 swaps while krQuick2 uses 25 compares and 28 swaps.
Command line arguments alter the content but not the order of operation. In all
cases, each selected function is applied to all selected data lists.
Command arguments are case-insensitive: F function selector, D data selector,
and S show what map. Each is followed without space by a single character.
F0, F1, F2, FA select function 0, 1, or 2 only or all functions.
D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, DA select builtin data list 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 only or all.
S0 (default) shows no extra information.
S1 (GLOBAL) shows the full list (without "GLOBAL" legend) at each invocation.
S2 (LOCAL1) shows the sublist before processing.
S3 (GLOBAL+LOCAL1)
S4 (LOCAL) shows the sublist after each swap. It also shows the sublist before
processing.
S8 (INDEX) shows indices but these would never be shown without at least LOCAL,
which can't be combined with 8 in the single-digit argument.
SA (All)
Note that the Local legend includes a numeric suffix to identify where in the
point in the code that is reporting.
The most useful S formats are S1, S5, and SA (S0 is default).
After any F and S arguments, any space-delimited list of numbers will be taken
as the data list. Any D argument is ignored. For example:
quick 20 21 15 12 40 0
applies all three functions to the data, reporting only the unsorted and sorted
full lists and operational statistics.
quick f0 sa 20 21 15 12 40 0
applies only function 0 krQuick to the data, reporting everything.

S5 format is best for displaying how the sublist changes during sorting. Since
LOCAL is displayed only after a swap, superfluous identity swaps (many in this
example) are readily apparent.
