+-- Sort Utility (Using Bubblesort Algorithm)
+
+-- This package provides a bubblesort routine that works with access to
+-- subprogram parameters, so that it can be used with different types with
+-- shared sorting code.
+
+-- See also GNAT.Bubble_Sort_G and GNAT.Bubble_Sort_A. These are older
+-- versions of this routine. In some cases GNAT.Bubble_Sort_G may be a
+-- little faster than GNAT.Bubble_Sort, at the expense of generic code
+-- duplication and a less convenient interface. The generic version also
+-- has the advantage of being Pure, while this unit can only be Preelaborate.
+
+package GNAT.Bubble_Sort is
+pragma Preelaborate (Bubble_Sort);
+
+ -- 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.
+
+ type Xchg_Procedure is access procedure (Op1, Op2 : Natural);
+ -- A pointer to a procedure that exchanges the two data items whose
+ -- index values are Op1 and Op2.
+
+ type Lt_Function is access function (Op1, Op2 : Natural) return Boolean;
+ -- A pointer to a function that compares two items and returns True if
+ -- the item with index value Op1 is less than the item with Index value
+ -- Op2, and False if the Op1 item is greater than or equal to the Op2
+ -- item.
+
+ procedure Sort (N : Natural; Xchg : Xchg_Procedure; Lt : Lt_Function);
+ -- This procedures sorts items in the range from 1 to N into ascending
+ -- order making calls to Lt to do required comparisons, and calls to
+ -- Xchg to exchange items. The sort is stable, that is the order of
+ -- equal items in the input is preserved.
