34-- Heapsort generic package using formal procedures
35
36-- This package provides a generic heapsort routine that can be used with
fbf5a39b
AC
37-- different types of data.
38
39-- See also GNAT.Heap_Sort, a version that works with subprogram access
40-- parameters, allowing code sharing. The generic version is slightly more
41-- efficient but does not allow code sharing and has an interface that is
42-- more awkward to use. The generic version is also Pure, while the access
43-- subprogram version can only be Preelaborate.
44
45-- There is also GNAT.Heap_Sort_A, which is now considered obsolete, but
46-- was an older version working with subprogram parameters. This version
47-- is retained for bacwards compatibility with old versions of GNAT.
48
49-- This heapsort algorithm uses approximately N*log(N) compares in the
50-- worst case and is in place with no additional storage required. See
51-- the body for exact details of the algorithm used.

54 -- The data to be sorted is assumed to be indexed by integer values from
55 -- 1 to N, where N is the number of items to be sorted. In addition, the

59 -- A procedure that moves the data item with index value From to the data
60 -- item with index value To (the old value in To being lost). An index
61 -- value of zero is used for moves from and to a single temporary location

65 -- index Op1 is less than the item with Index Op2, and False if the Op1

66 -- item is greater than the Op2 item. If the two items are equal, then
67 -- it does not matter whether True or False is returned (it is slightly
68 -- more efficient to return False).
69
70 -- Note on use of temporary location
71
72 -- There are two ways of providing for the index value zero to represent
73 -- a temporary value. Either an extra location can be allocated at the
74 -- start of the array, or alternatively the Move and Lt subprograms can
75 -- test for the case of zero and treat it specially. In any case it is
76 -- desirable to specify the two subprograms as inlined and the tests for
77 -- zero will in this case be resolved at instantiation time.
