--  This package contains functions for runtime comparisons on strings
 
pragma Compiler_Unit;
 
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.
