-- This package contains functions for runtime comparisons on strings
package System.String_Compare is
function Str_Compare
(Left : System.Address;
Right : System.Address;
Left_Len : Natural;
Right_Len : Natural)
return Integer;
-- Compare the string starting at address Left of length Left_Len
-- with the string starting at address Right of length Right_Len.
-- The comparison is in the normal Ada semantic sense of string
-- 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 Str_Compare_Bytes
(Left : System.Address;
Right : System.Address;
Left_Len : Natural;
Right_Len : Natural)
return Integer;
-- Same functionality as Str_Compare 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.
end System.String_Compare;
