-- Sort utility (Using Heapsort Algorithm)
-- This package provides a heapsort routine that works with access to
-- subprogram parameters, so that it can be used with different types with
-- shared sorting code.
-- This heapsort algorithm uses approximately N*log(N) compares in the
-- worst case and is in place with no additional storage required. See
-- the body for exact details of the algorithm used.
-- See also GNAT.Heap_Sort_G which is a generic version that will be faster
-- since the overhead of the indirect calls is avoided, at the expense of
-- generic code duplication and less convenient interface.
-- Note: GNAT.Heap_Sort replaces and obsoletes GNAT.Heap_Sort_A, which is
-- retained in the GNAT library for backwards compatibility.
package GNAT.Heap_Sort is
pragma Pure;
-- The data to be sorted is assumed to be indexed by integer values
-- from 1 to N, where N is the number of items to be sorted.
type Xchg_Procedure is access procedure (Op1, Op2 : Natural);
-- A pointer to a procedure that exchanges the two data items whose
-- index values are Op1 and Op2.
type Lt_Function is access function (Op1, Op2 : Natural) return Boolean;
-- A pointer to a function that compares two items and returns True if
-- the item with index value Op1 is less than the item with Index value
-- Op2, and False if the Op1 item is greater than the Op2 item. If
-- the items are equal, then it does not matter if True or False is
-- returned (but it is slightly more efficient to return False).
procedure Sort (N : Natural; Xchg : Xchg_Procedure; Lt : Lt_Function);
-- This procedures sorts items in the range from 1 to N into ascending
-- order making calls to Lt to do required comparisons, and calls to
-- Xchg to exchange items. The sort is not stable, that is the order
-- of equal items in the input data set is not preserved.
