fbf5a39b 32-- Sort utility (Using Heapsort Algorithm)
cacbc350 33
fbf5a39b
AC
34-- This package provides a heapsort routine that works with access to
35-- subprogram parameters, so that it can be used with different types with
36-- shared sorting code.

AC
38-- This heapsort algorithm uses approximately N*log(N) compares in the
39-- worst case and is in place with no additional storage required. See
40-- the body for exact details of the algorithm used.

AC
42-- See also GNAT.Heap_Sort_G which is a generic version that will be faster
43-- since the overhead of the indirect calls is avoided, at the expense of
ac38d4af 44-- generic code duplication and less convenient interface.

45
46-- Note: GNAT.Heap_Sort replaces and obsoletes GNAT.Heap_Sort_A, which is
47-- retained in the GNAT library for backwards compatibility.
