--  This package contains functions for runtime operations on boolean vectors

package System.Vectors.Boolean_Operations is
   pragma Pure;

   --  Although in general the boolean operations on arrays of booleans are
   --  identical to operations on arrays of unsigned words of the same size,
   --  for the "not" operator this is not the case as False is typically
   --  represented by 0 and true by 1.

   function "not" (Item : Vectors.Vector) return Vectors.Vector;

   --  The three boolean operations "nand", "nor" and "nxor" are needed
   --  for cases where the compiler moves boolean array operations into
   --  the body of the loop that iterates over the array elements.

   --  Note the following equivalences:
   --    (not X) or  (not Y)  =  not (X and Y)  =  Nand (X, Y)
   --    (not X) and (not Y)  =  not (X or Y)   =  Nor  (X, Y)
   --    (not X) xor (not Y)  =  X xor Y
   --    X       xor (not Y)  =  not (X xor Y)  =  Nxor (X, Y)

   function Nand (Left, Right : Boolean) return Boolean;
   function Nor  (Left, Right : Boolean) return Boolean;
   function Nxor (Left, Right : Boolean) return Boolean;

   function Nand (Left, Right : Vectors.Vector) return Vectors.Vector;
   function Nor (Left, Right : Vectors.Vector) return Vectors.Vector;
   function Nxor (Left, Right : Vectors.Vector) return Vectors.Vector;

   pragma Inline_Always (Nand);
   pragma Inline_Always (Nor);
