All of the interesting technological, artistic or just plain fun subjects I'd investigate if I had an infinite number of lifetimes. In other words, a dumping ground...

c++ qsort, threaded qsort and shell sort

Shell sort, qsort recurisve, and threaded qsort.
Threaded qsort runs out of memory for creating new threads at around 600 threads.
Making the stack size smaller with NEED_STACK might be able to fix is but I couldn't work out how.
PTHREAD_THREADS_MAX is set to 16384 on this system so that is not the problem.

It relies on the fact that C++ vectors are stored in contiguous memory.
