//      Constants
//              The NULL key value is used to initialize the priority queue, and
//              so it should be larger than any valid distance, so that it will
//              be replaced as legal distance values are inserted.  The NULL
//              info value must be a nonvalid array index, we use ANN_NULL_IDX,
//              which is guaranteed to be negative.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------

const PQKkey    PQ_NULL_KEY  =  ANN_DIST_INF;   // nonexistent key value
const PQKinfo   PQ_NULL_INFO =  ANN_NULL_IDX;   // nonexistent info value

//      ANNmin_k
//              An ANNmin_k structure is one which maintains the smallest
//              k values (of type PQKkey) and associated information (of type
//              PQKinfo).  The special info and key values PQ_NULL_INFO and
//              PQ_NULL_KEY means that thise entry is empty.
//
//              It is currently implemented using an array with k items.
//              Items are stored in increasing sorted order, and insertions
//              are made through standard insertion sort.  (This is quite
//              inefficient, but current applications call for small values
//              of k and relatively few insertions.)
//              
//              Note that the list contains k+1 entries, but the last entry
//              is used as a simple placeholder and is otherwise ignored.
