| |
| -- Note: although the functions in this package are in a sense Pure, the |
| -- package cannot be declared as Pure, since the arguments are addresses, |
| -- not the data, and the result is not pure wrt the address values. |

| function Compare_Array_U16 |
| (Left : System.Address; |
| Right : System.Address; |
| Left_Len : Natural; |
| Right_Len : Natural) |
| return Integer; |
| -- Compare the array starting at address Left of length Left_Len |
| -- with the array starting at address Right of length Right_Len. |
| -- The comparison is in the normal Ada semantic sense of array |
| -- comparison. The result is -1,0,+1 for Left<Right, Left=Right, |
| -- Left>Right respectively. This function works with 4 byte words |
| -- if the operands are aligned on 4-byte boundaries and long enough. |
