-
--- Heapsort using access to procedure parameters
-
--- 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. See also GNAT.Heap_Sort_G, the generic version,
--- which is a little more efficient but does not allow code sharing.
--- The generic version is also Pure, while the access version can
--- only be Preelaborate.
-
-package GNAT.Heap_Sort_A is
-pragma Preelaborate (Heap_Sort_A);
-
- -- 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. In addition, the
- -- index value zero is used for a temporary location used during the sort.
-
- type Move_Procedure is access procedure (From : Natural; To : Natural);
- -- A pointer to a procedure that moves the data item with index From to
- -- the data item with index To. An index value of zero is used for moves
- -- from and to the single temporary location used by the sort.
-
- 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 Op1 is less than the item with index Op2, and False
- -- if the Op1 item is greater than or equal to the Op2 item.
-
- procedure Sort (N : Natural; Move : Move_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 Move to move
- -- items around. Note that, as described above, both Move and Lt use a
- -- single temporary location with index value zero. This sort is not
- -- stable, i.e. the order of equal elements in the input is not preserved.
