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. | |

53 | generic | |
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 | |
56 | -- index value zero is used for a temporary location used during the sort. | |
57 | ||
58 | with procedure Move (From : Natural; To : Natural); | |
fbf5a39b AC |
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 | |
38cbfe40 RK |
62 | |
63 | with function Lt (Op1, Op2 : Natural) return Boolean; | |
64 | -- A function that compares two items and returns True if the item with | |
65 | -- index Op1 is less than the item with Index Op2, and False if the Op1 | |
fbf5a39b AC |
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. | |

79 | package GNAT.Heap_Sort_G is | |
80 | pragma Pure (Heap_Sort_G); | |
81 | ||
82 | procedure Sort (N : Natural); | |
83 | -- This procedures sorts items in the range from 1 to N into ascending | |
84 | -- order making calls to Lt to do required comparisons, and Move to move | |
85 | -- items around. Note that, as described above, both Move and Lt use a | |
86 | -- single temporary location with index value zero. This sort is not | |
87 | -- stable, i.e. the order of equal elements in the input is not preserved. | |
