Pass the array of sort keys to compare_refs() via the context parameter of qsort_s() instead of using a global variable; that's cleaner and simpler. If ref_array_sort() is to be called from multiple parallel threads then care still needs to be taken that the global variable used_atom is not modified concurrently.
