In #425 I was forced to add a dead initialization for the _Count variable in _Sort_unchecked in order to comply with constexpr rules. Also, _Sort_unchecked had somewhat complex assignment-in-conditional-expressions going on. This change moves the code around such that the _Count variable is assigned once.

I tested with the Visual Studio 2019 version 16.5 preview 2 compiler and verified there were no meaningful changes in the generated code (except for a couple of removed branches for the >>1 instead of /2 and >>2 instead of /4), so the performance should be unaffected. (Note that performance of anything related to sort is super duper sensitive)

Checklist

Be sure you've read README.md and understand the scope of this repo.

If you're unsure about a box, leave it unchecked. A maintainer will help you.

  • Identifiers in product code changes are properly _Ugly as per
    https://eel.is/c++draft/lex.name#3.1 or there are no product code changes.
  • The STL builds successfully and all tests have passed (must be manually
    verified by an STL maintainer before automated testing is enabled on GitHub,
    leave this unchecked for initial submission).
  • These changes introduce no known ABI breaks (adding members, renaming
    members, adding virtual functions, changing whether a type is an aggregate
    or trivially copyable, etc.).
  • These changes were written from scratch using only this repository,
    the C++ Working Draft (including any cited standards), other WG21 papers
    (excluding reference implementations outside of proposed standard wording),
    and LWG issues as reference material. If they were derived from a project
    that's already listed in NOTICE.txt, that's fine, but please mention it.
    If they were derived from any other project (including Boost and libc++,
    which are not yet listed in NOTICE.txt), you must mention it here,
    so we can determine whether the license is compatible and what else needs
    to be done.

Based on Casey's comment I want to fix callers to _Insertion_sort_unchecked.

… _First != _Last precondition since all callers already had count.
