In Sean Parent's CppCon keynote last week, he went through the process of
implementing an algorithm he called "sort_subrange", which takes four
iterators describing two ranges, one a subset of the other, and sorts the
subrange - as if you had sorted the entire range. (See
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWgDk-o-6ZE, starting at about 31:30).
I have implemented this in Boost.Algorithm (crediting Sean) - called
partition_sort.
However, while I was doing this, I thought of a different algorithm; one
that gathered all the elements into the subrange as if the entire range was
sorted, but didn't actually do the sorting.
I've implemented that one, too - but I'm having a bit of trouble coming up
with a name.
I've used "partition_subrange", but that not that clear.
Sean has suggested "elements_in_subrange" and "elements_within_subrange".
Here's the declaration:
