| -- Sort Utility (Using Bubblesort Algorithm) |
| |
| -- This package provides a bubblesort routine that works with access to |
| -- subprogram parameters, so that it can be used with different types with |
| -- shared sorting code. |
| |
| -- See also GNAT.Bubble_Sort_G and GNAT.Bubble_Sort_A. These are older |
| -- versions of this routine. In some cases GNAT.Bubble_Sort_G may be a |
| -- little faster than GNAT.Bubble_Sort, at the expense of generic code |
| -- duplication and a less convenient interface. The generic version also |
| -- has the advantage of being Pure, while this unit can only be Preelaborate. |
| |
| package GNAT.Bubble_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 or equal to the Op2 |
| -- item. |
| |
| 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 stable, that is the order of |
| -- equal items in the input is preserved. |
