| -- 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 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. The generic version is also Pure, while the access |
| -- subprograqm version can only be Preelaborate. |
| |
| -- There is also GNAT.Bubble_Sort_A, which is now considered obsolete, but |
| -- was an older version working with subprogram parameters. This version |
| -- is retained for baccwards compatibility with old versions of GNAT. |
| |
| 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 |
| -- 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; |
| |
| 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 stable, |
| -- that is the order of equal elements in the input is preserved. |
