--  This package contains functions for runtime comparisons on arrays whose
--  elements are 8-bit discrete type values to be treated as unsigned.

pragma Compiler_Unit_Warning;

package System.Compare_Array_Unsigned_8 is

   --  Note: although the functions in this package are in a sense Pure, the
   --  package cannot be declared as Pure, since the arguments are addresses,
   --  not the data, and the result is not pure wrt the address values.

   function Compare_Array_U8
     (Left      : System.Address;
      Right     : System.Address;
      Left_Len  : Natural;
      Right_Len : Natural) return Integer;
   --  Compare the array starting at address Left of length Left_Len with the
   --  array starting at address Right of length Right_Len. The comparison is
   --  in the normal Ada semantic sense of array comparison. The result is -1,
   --  0, +1 for Left < Right, Left = Right, Left > Right respectively. This
   --  function works with 4 byte words if the operands are aligned on 4-byte
   --  boundaries and long enough.

   function Compare_Array_U8_Unaligned
     (Left      : System.Address;
      Right     : System.Address;
      Left_Len  : Natural;
      Right_Len : Natural) return Integer;
   --  Same functionality as Compare_Array_U8 but always proceeds by bytes.
   --  Used when the caller knows that the operands are unaligned, or short
   --  enough that it makes no sense to go by words.
