32 -- Bubblesort using access to procedure parameters
33
34 -- This package provides a bubble sort routine that works with access to
35 -- subprogram parameters, so that it can be used with different types with
36 -- shared sorting code. It is considered obsoleted by GNAT.Bubble_Sort which
37 -- offers a similar routine with a more convenient interface.
38
39 package GNAT.Bubble_Sort_A is
40 pragma Preelaborate;
41
42 -- The data to be sorted is assumed to be indexed by integer values from
43 -- 1 to N, where N is the number of items to be sorted. In addition, the
44 -- index value zero is used for a temporary location used during the sort.
45
46 type Move_Procedure is access procedure (From : Natural; To : Natural);
47 -- A pointer to a procedure that moves the data item with index From to
48 -- the data item with index To. An index value of zero is used for moves
49 -- from and to the single temporary location used by the sort.
50
51 type Lt_Function is access function (Op1, Op2 : Natural) return Boolean;
52 -- A pointer to a function that compares two items and returns True if
53 -- the item with index Op1 is less than the item with index Op2, and False
54 -- if the Op2 item is greater than or equal to the Op1 item.
55
56 procedure Sort (N : Natural; Move : Move_Procedure; Lt : Lt_Function);
57 -- This procedures sorts items in the range from 1 to N into ascending
58 -- order making calls to Lt to do required comparisons, and Move to move
59 -- items around. Note that, as described above, both Move and Lt use a
60 -- single temporary location with index value zero. This sort is not
61 -- stable, i.e. the order of equal elements in the input is not preserved.
