-- Bubblesort generic package using formal procedures
-- This package provides a generic bubble sort routine that can be used with
-- different types of data. See also GNAT.Bubble_Sort_A, a version that works
-- with subprogram parameters, allowing code sharing. The generic version
-- is slightly more efficient but does not allow code sharing. The generic
-- version is also Pure, while the access version can only be Preelaborate.
generic
-- 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. In addition, the
-- index value zero is used for a temporary location used during the sort.
with procedure Move (From : Natural; To : Natural);
-- A procedure that moves the data item with index From to the data item
-- with Index To. An index value of zero is used for moves from and to a
-- single temporary location used by the sort.
with function Lt (Op1, Op2 : Natural) return Boolean;
-- A function that compares two items and returns True if the item with
-- index Op1 is less than the item with Index Op2, and False if the Op2
-- item is greater than or equal to the Op1 item.
package GNAT.Bubble_Sort_G is
pragma Pure (Bubble_Sort_G);
procedure Sort (N : Natural);
-- This procedures sorts items in the range from 1 to N into ascending
-- order making calls to Lt to do required comparisons, and Move to move
-- items around. Note that, as described above, both Move and Lt use a
-- single temporary location with index value zero. This sort is not
-- stable, i.e. the order of equal elements in the input is not preserved.
