Comment (by Stepan Podoskin <stepik-777@…>):

 I just want to note that comparison with zero here isn't necessary.

 There is:
 {{{
    if((r_order == 0) && (*pr == 0))
 }}}
 And few lines below:
 {{{
    if((r_order == 0) && (*pr < y))
 }}}
 There is no reason to treat zero as some special value, it will be handled
 by second '''if''', so lines 339-345 can be simply removed.
