template<class RandomAccessIterator> void stable_sort(RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last); template<class ExecutionPolicy, class RandomAccessIterator> void stable_sort(ExecutionPolicy&& exec, RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last); template<class RandomAccessIterator, class Compare> void stable_sort(RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last, Compare comp); template<class ExecutionPolicy, class RandomAccessIterator, class Compare> void stable_sort(ExecutionPolicy&& exec, RandomAccessIterator first, RandomAccessIterator last, Compare comp);

Requires: RandomAccessIterator shall satisfy the requirements of ValueSwappable. The type of *first shall satisfy the requirements of MoveConstructible and of MoveAssignable.

Effects: Sorts the elements in the range [first, last).

Complexity: At most Nlog2(N) comparisons, where N=last - first, but only NlogN comparisons if there is enough extra memory.

Remarks: Stable.
