| -- This package contains functions for runtime comparisons on strings |
| |
| package System.String_Compare is |
| |
| function Str_Compare |
| (Left : System.Address; |
| Right : System.Address; |
| Left_Len : Natural; |
| Right_Len : Natural) return Integer; |
| -- Compare the string starting at address Left of length Left_Len |
| -- with the string starting at address Right of length Right_Len. |
| -- The comparison is in the normal Ada semantic sense of string |
| -- 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. |
| |
| function Str_Compare_Bytes |
| (Left : System.Address; |
| Right : System.Address; |
| Left_Len : Natural; |
| Right_Len : Natural) return Integer; |
| -- Same functionality as Str_Compare but always proceeds by bytes. |
| -- Used when the caller knows that the operands are unaligned, or |
| -- short enough that it makes no sense to go by words. |
