cacbc350 | 33 | |

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. | |
cacbc350 | 37 | |
fbf5a39b 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. | |

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. |

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

62 | -- Op2, and False if the Op1 item is greater than the Op2 item. If | |
