[Rcpp-devel] R.e. is std::sort function broken??

There is also the fact that the array is being created ready-sorted :-).
I assumed this was an artificially simplified example from real code. Or
a learning toy.

Or add data.reserve(20) [1] after creating the vector. Then push_back()
is very quick.

BTW, apologies for replying to something off-topic. Perhaps, Noah, Stack
Overflow would be a better place for pure-C++ questions? (Any other
suggestions anyone?)
