12.75 GNAT.Heap_Sort_A (g-hesora.ads) ¶

Provides a general implementation of heap sort usable for sorting arbitrary data items. Move and comparison procedures are provided by passing access-to-procedure values. The algorithm used is a modified heap sort that performs approximately N*log(N) comparisons in the worst case. This differs from GNAT.Heap_Sort in having a less convenient interface, but may be slightly more efficient.
