--  Heapsort generic package using formal procedures
 
--  This package provides a generic heapsort routine that can be used with
--  different types of data.
 
--  See also GNAT.Heap_Sort, a version that works with subprogram access
--  parameters, allowing code sharing. The generic version is slightly more
--  efficient but does not allow code sharing and has an interface that is
--  more awkward to use.
 
--  There is also GNAT.Heap_Sort_A, which is now considered obsolete, but
--  was an older version working with subprogram parameters. This version
--  is retained for backwards compatibility with old versions of GNAT.
 
--  This heapsort algorithm uses approximately N*log(N) compares in the
--  worst case and is in place with no additional storage required. See
--  the body for exact details of the algorithm used.
 
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 value From to the data
   --  item with index value To (the old value in To being lost). An index
   --  value of zero is used for moves from and to a single temporary location.
   --  For best efficiency, this routine should be marked as inlined.
 
   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 Op1
   --  item is greater than the Op2 item. If the two items are equal, then
   --  it does not matter whether True or False is returned (it is slightly
   --  more efficient to return False). For best efficiency, this routine
   --  should be marked as inlined.
 
   --  Note on use of temporary location
 
   --  There are two ways of providing for the index value zero to represent
   --  a temporary value. Either an extra location can be allocated at the
   --  start of the array, or alternatively the Move and Lt subprograms can
   --  test for the case of zero and treat it specially. In any case it is
   --  desirable to specify the two subprograms as inlined and the tests for
   --  zero will in this case be resolved at instantiation time.
 
package GNAT.Heap_Sort_G is
   pragma Pure;
 
   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.
