Yes, you just compiled C code as C++. Actually write it as C++ (get rid of the void* mostly) and your program becomes a constant time evaluation: https://godbolt.org/z/5fedo8s5q

Well the whole point of the exercise was to see whether the C-version of qsort would be optimized in the same way as templated code when the compiler can see the whole thing instead of just the declaration. That's why I didn't write templated code.
