The result is -1,0,+1 for LeftRight 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. end System.Compare_Array_Unsigned_8;
