.Heap_Sort_G
is
40 -- We are using the classical heapsort algorithm (i.e. Floyd's Treesort3)
41 -- as described by Knuth ("The Art of Programming", Volume III, first
42 -- edition, section 5.2.3, p. 145-147) with the modification that is
43 -- mentioned in exercise 18. For more details on this algorithm, see
44 -- Robert B. K. Dewar PhD thesis "The use of Computers in the X-ray
45 -- Phase Problem". University of Chicago, 1968, which was the first
46 -- publication of the modification, which reduces the number of compares
47 -- from 2NlogN to NlogN.
49 procedure Sort
(N
: Natural) is
52 -- Current Max index in tree being sifted
54 procedure Sift
(S
: Positive);
55 -- This procedure sifts up node S, i.e. converts the subtree rooted
56 -- at node S into a heap, given the precondition that any sons of
57 -- S are already heaps. On entry, the contents of node S is found
58 -- in the temporary (index 0), the actual contents of node S on
59 -- entry are irrelevant. This is just a minor optimization to avoid
60 -- what would otherwise be two junk moves in phase two of the sort.
66 procedure Sift
(S
: Positive) is
70 -- Note: by making the above all Positive, we ensure that a test
71 -- against zero for the temporary location can be resolved on the
72 -- basis of types when the routines are inlined.
75 -- This is where the optimization is done, normally we would do a
76 -- comparison at each stage between the current node and the larger
77 -- of the two sons, and continue the sift only if the current node
78 -- was less than this maximum. In this modified optimized version,
79 -- we assume that the current node will be less than the larger
80 -- son, and unconditionally sift up. Then when we get to the bottom
81 -- of the tree, we check parents to make sure that we did not make
82 -- a mistake. This roughly cuts the number of comparisons in half,
83 -- since it is almost always the case that our assumption is correct.
85 -- Loop to pull up larger sons
91 if Lt
(Son
, Son
+ 1) then
102 -- Loop to check fathers
107 if Lt
(Father
, 0) then
115 -- Last step is to pop the sifted node into place
120 -- Start of processing for Sort
123 -- Phase one of heapsort is to build the heap. This is done by
124 -- sifting nodes N/2 .. 1 in sequence.
126 for J
in reverse 1 .. N
/ 2 loop
131 -- In phase 2, the largest node is moved to end, reducing the size
132 -- of the tree by one, and the displaced node is sifted down from
133 -- the top, so that the largest node is again at the top.
