Add pred column to all four *Via functions (replaces #3149) - #3153
AdityaRanaX wants to merge 20 commits into
Conversation
Closes pgRouting#3111 Adds a prev column to pgr_dijkstraVia's output, exposing the previous node in the path alongside the existing node column. For the first row of each path segment, prev equals the segment's own start_vid, matching the existing convention used by pgr_drivingDistance's pred column. Note: prev is added to the shared Routes_t struct and get_path() converter used by pgr_trspVia, pgr_trspVia_withPoints, and pgr_withPointsVia as well, since this logic is shared across all *Via algorithms. Only pgr_dijkstraVia's SQL signature exposes it per this issue's scope; the other three compute it internally but don't surface it. Also updates tools/testers/via_compare.pg, which previously used SELECT * to compare pgr_dijkstraVia against pgr_trspVia and pgr_withPointsVia — now explicitly projects the 10 shared columns so the new prev column doesn't break those cross-algorithm comparison tests.
trspVia.result had 2 query blocks (q7, q11) and migration.result had 1 block still showing pgr_dijkstraVia's pre-prev-column output, left stale by commit 0598218. Updates all of them to include the prev column.
Adds an OUT prev BIGINT column to pgr_trspVia's output, exposing the previous node per row, consistent with pgr_dijkstraVia's prev column added in an earlier change. This is part of extending that change to all four *Via functions per project policy (pgr_dijkstraVia, pgr_trspVia, pgr_trspVia_withPoints, pgr_withPointsVia must keep matching output columns). - sql/trsp/trspVia.sql, _trspVia.sql: add prev output column, bump version v3.4 -> v4.1 - src/trsp/trspVia.c: pass through prev value - build-extension-update-files.pl: add upgrade-path drop lines for pgr_trspvia/_pgr_trspvia, gated to 3.4 <= old_minor < 4.1 - tools/testers/types_check.pg: expect 11 columns for pgr_trspvia - tools/testers/via_compare.pg: revert trspVia_VS_dijkstraVia to SELECT * now that both functions return identical columns - doc/trsp/pgr_trspVia.rst: document prev column, add Version 4.1 availability entry - docqueries/trsp/trspVia.result, docqueries/src/migration.result: regenerate stale result blocks against live output Verified: clean build, via_compare SELECT * gives 5,184 comparisons with zero mismatches (prev included), docqueries regenerated from live DB output and confirmed matching.
…pgr_trspVia) Adds OUT prev BIGINT to both overloads of pgr_trspVia_withPoints, exposing the previous node/point per row. prev was already computed internally via the shared get_path() converter (as noted in the original dijkstraVia PR) — this change only exposes it in the SQL signature. Predecessor convention (Option A - positional passthrough): prev holds the literal previous row's node ID, including negative IDs when that node is a point-on-edge. First row of a segment gets prev = start_vid, even when the segment starts at a point. This matches pgr_withPointsDD.pred's existing handling of points. Note: prev's value depends on the details parameter, since eliminate_details() runs before prev is computed - collapsed rows disappear from the sequence before prev is calculated. Documented in pgr_trspVia_withPoints.rst, not treated as a bug. - sql/trsp/trspVia_withPoints.sql, _trspVia_withPoints.sql: add prev to both overloads, version v4.0 -> v4.1 - src/trsp/trspVia_withPoints.c: prev at index 5 in the v4 tuple builder (legacy pre-4.0 function left untouched, deprecated) - build-extension-update-files.pl: drop lines for the 3 current 4.x signatures, gated >= 4.0 (differs from trspVia's >= 3.4 - this function's signature only stabilized in 4.0.0, verified against generated upgrade scripts for 3.4/3.8/4.0 sources) - tools/testers/types_check.pg: new pgr_trspvia_withpoints branch, 11 columns - tools/testers/via_compare.pg: pin trspVia_withPoints side of trspVia_withPoints_VS_withPointsVia to the 10 shared columns (withPointsVia has no prev yet; SELECT * on both sides will work again once it does) - doc/trsp/pgr_trspVia_withPoints.rst: document prev, including the details-dependent behavior; Version 4.1 availability entry - doc/categories/via-category.rst: shared fragment now mentions prev can hold a negative (point) ID Verified: clean build, live DB test with negative point IDs confirms prev passthrough on both first-row and mid-path point cases, via_compare gives 1,200 comparisons with zero mismatches, docqueries regenerated and verified against live output.
…rspVia, pgr_trspVia_withPoints) Adds OUT prev BIGINT to pgr_withPointsVia, exposing the previous node/point per row. This is the fourth and final *Via function to receive prev, completing the consistent-output-columns requirement across pgr_dijkstraVia, pgr_trspVia, pgr_trspVia_withPoints, and pgr_withPointsVia. prev was already computed internally via the shared get_path() converter — this change only exposes it in the SQL signature, same as the prior three functions. Predecessor convention (Option A - positional passthrough): prev holds the literal previous row's node ID, including negative IDs when that node is a point-on-edge. First row of a segment gets prev = start_vid, even when the segment starts at a point. Matches pgr_withPointsDD.pred's existing handling of points. Verified against live queries with real negative point IDs, including the first-row-is-a-point case. Note: prev's value depends on the details parameter, same eliminate_details()-before-get_path() ordering as pgr_trspVia_withPoints. Documented, not treated as a bug. - sql/withPoints/withPointsVia.sql, _withPointsVia.sql: add prev, version bump - src/withPoints/withPointsVia.c (or driver): prev at the correct values[] index - build-extension-update-files.pl: drop lines for the current 4.x signatures, gated >= 4.0 (verified independently against this function's own signature history — 2.6-3.8 and 3.4-3.8 signature eras both predate the current one) - tools/testers/types_check.pg: pgr_withpointsvia branch, 11 columns - tools/testers/via_compare.pg: both withPointsVia_VS_dijkstraVia and trspVia_withPoints_VS_withPointsVia reverted to plain SELECT * on both sides, now that all four functions share the same columns. Confirmed the small number of remaining mismatches in withPointsVia_VS_dijkstraVia are pre-existing equal-cost tie-breaking differences, unrelated to prev (same mismatches occur with or without prev in the comparison) - not fixed here. - doc/withPoints/pgr_withPointsVia.rst: document prev, details dependency, Version 4.1 availability entry - docqueries/withPoints/withPointsVia.result, docqueries/trsp/trspVia_withPoints.result, docqueries/src/migration.result: regenerated stale blocks, verified against clean live output Verified: clean build, live DB test with negative point IDs confirms prev on both first-row and mid-path point cases, via_compare fully reverted to SELECT * with zero prev-attributable mismatches, docqueries regenerated and verified. This completes all four *Via functions for the single PR intended to replace pgRouting#3149.
Adds the release notes entries for issue pgRouting#3111 and the missing availability entry on pgr_dijkstraVia. - doc/dijkstra/pgr_dijkstraVia.rst: add the Version 4.1.0 availability entry for the prev result column. The other three *Via functions already had it; this one was missed when prev was first added. It is also required by the release notes include below, which pulls each function's 4.1.0 section out of its own page. - NEWS.md, doc/src/release_notes.rst: add issue pgRouting#3111 under Code enhancements, in issue-number order, and the four *Via functions under Summary of changes by function. Follows the pattern used by pgr_edgeColoring, an existing function changed in 4.1.0, whose include ends before the next rubric rather than before Description. doc/_static/page_history.js is intentionally not modified: it tracks newly added documentation pages per version, and this change adds none.

This isn't a route change — it's a column-position misread caused by inserting Every row's Row 1 is what likely caused the misread: For context: this route isn't even tie-breakable — the direct 6→3 path costs 2 but is blocked by restriction {4,7}, so TRSP has exactly one viable detour (cost 8) with no equal-cost alternative to choose between. No code or fixture change needed here. |

To keep a standard, we use pred in other functions that already have the column.
prev -> pred.
Verify that all your documentation is for a user, because I read about details what is that for a user? a user don`t care about the C/C++ implementation details.

This is also a breaking change to the users, you need to add a section on the migration documentation. Normally this takes place when a major is released. This also opens a door of discussion about changing Discussion from PSC is requiered. |
Review feedback on pgRouting#3153: pgRouting already uses `pred` for the "previous node" column on pgr_drivingDistance, pgr_withPointsDD and the spanning tree functions, so the new *Via column takes the same name instead of introducing a second name for the same concept. * Rename prev -> pred on the SQL wrappers, the C drivers, routes_t.h, types_check.pg, the documentation and the expected docqueries output. to_postgres.cpp already used `pred` for the spanning tree functions, so the code now uses one name throughout. * Rewrite the `details` note of pgr_withPointsVia and pgr_trspVia_withPoints in terms of the rows the user gets back, instead of when the value is calculated internally. * Add a "Migration of via functions" section to migration.rst: the new column shifts the position of the columns that follow it. * conf.py.in: add pred to the |via-result| substitution, used by the "Returns set of" line of the four functions. * routes_t.h: the comment claimed only pgr_dijkstraVia populated the column.

changed the title
Two failures on the previous push:
* Check files / News_check: NEWS.md must be the output of
tools/release-scripts/notes2news.pl. The generator keeps the ``pred``
markup coming from release_notes.rst, which the hand written entries
did not have, so NEWS.md was reported as not up to date. Regenerated
it with the script.
* Update test: types_check.pg expected the pred column on every
installation, so the current tests failed when run against an older
pgRouting. The column exists since 4.1.0, so the expectation is now
guarded with min_version('4.1.0') on the four *Via functions, and
older installations fall back to the default column list, which has
no pred. The guards already in place only skip when the signature
itself does not exist yet (3.4.0 for pgr_trspVia, 4.0.0 for the
withPoints ones), so they do not cover the versions between those
and 4.1.0.
The cpplint error on src/coloring/coloring_driver.cpp is unrelated to
this branch: it also fails on develop since the merge of pgRouting#3152.
…sue-3111-all-via-prev
… entry points pgr_dijkstraVia and pgr_trspVia had a single C entry point serving both old (10-column) and new (11-column, with pred) SQL declarations, via MODULE_PATHNAME resolving to whichever library is currently installed. An old database with a pre-4.1 SQL declaration calling the new 4.1 library would get silently shifted columns instead of an error, since PostgreSQL fills the declared OUT slots with whatever the C function writes, in order. pgr_trspVia_withPoints and pgr_withPointsVia already avoid this by having separate versioned entry points (_v4 for the new signature, a legacy one for the old). This applies the same pattern to the other two functions: - src/dijkstra/dijkstraVia.c, src/trsp/trspVia.c: renamed the existing 11-column function to _pgr_dijkstravia_v4 / _pgr_trspvia_v4, added back a legacy _pgr_dijkstravia / _pgr_trspvia emitting the original 10 columns (no pred), matching the deprecation comment style already used by the withPoints functions. Both entry points share the same process() helper, so the routing result itself is identical. - sql/dijkstra/_dijkstraVia.sql, sql/trsp/_trspVia.sql: the internal function is now declared as _pgr_dijkstraVia_v4 / _pgr_trspVia_v4, keeping the OUT pred column. - sql/dijkstra/dijkstraVia.sql, sql/trsp/trspVia.sql: the public functions call the _v4 internal functions. build-extension-update-files.pl already drops _pgr_dijkstravia and _pgr_trspvia when updating to 4.1, which is what the rename needs.

sql/sigs/pgrouting--4.1.sig records the functions of the extension by name and input arguments. Renaming the internal functions to _pgr_dijkstraVia_v4 and _pgr_trspVia_v4 changed two of those names, so the file is regenerated with tools/release-scripts/get_signatures.sh. Only the two internal functions change. The signature file does not record OUT columns, which is why adding the pred column on its own did not need this update.

sql/sigs/pgrouting--4.1.sig
Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 4 included reviews per hour; 2 remain after this review.
Commit 1ad6d46 renamed _pgr_dijkstraVia and _pgr_trspVia to _pgr_dijkstraVia_v4 and _pgr_trspVia_v4 so that the one argument form of the AS clause, which derives the C symbol from the SQL function name, would reach the new 11 column C functions. That rename is not allowed in a minor release. build-extension-update-files.pl enforces die "$old_function should exist in $new_minor" if $new_mayor == $old_mayor; so a function name present in pgrouting--4.0.sig may not disappear in pgrouting--4.1.sig. The rename made the generation of pgrouting--4.0.2--4.1.0.sql fail with Error 255. The rename used on pgr_trspVia_withPoints and pgr_withPointsVia was possible only because it happened on the 3.x to 4.0 major boundary. The SQL names are restored and the AS clause now names the C symbol explicitly: 'MODULE_PATHNAME', '_pgr_dijkstravia_v4' 'MODULE_PATHNAME', '_pgr_trspvia_v4' This two argument form is standard PostgreSQL. It is not used elsewhere in pgRouting only because every previous signature change landed on a major bump, where renaming was available. The signature files record the function name and the input arguments and never the OUT columns, so with the names restored nothing disappears from pgrouting--4.1.sig and the generator is satisfied. The C side split is unchanged: _pgr_dijkstravia_v4 and _pgr_trspvia_v4 return the 11 columns including pred, and the legacy _pgr_dijkstravia and _pgr_trspvia keep returning the original 10 columns for databases whose extension has not been updated. sql/sigs/pgrouting--4.1.sig is back to its previous content, verified by re-running tools/release-scripts/get_signatures.sh and getting an empty diff.
The block that drops the four *Via functions when updating to 4.1 was guarded only by the minor version, so it also ran for mayor 2 sources. That produced two broken statements in pgrouting--2.6.0--4.1.0.sql: * a drop of _pgr_dijkstraVia, which does not exist on 2.6. The signature file pgrouting--2.6.sig has no entry for it. * a second drop of pgr_dijkstraVia, which the generic loop above already drops for mayor 2 sources. ALTER EXTENSION pgrouting DROP FUNCTION has no IF EXISTS, so either statement aborts the update before the 4.1 definitions are installed. On mayor 2 the generic loop already drops every function of the old version, so the block is now restricted to mayor 3 and up. The generated scripts for 3.0.2, 3.4.0, 3.8.0 and 4.0.2 keep the drops they need, and pgrouting--2.6.0--4.1.0.sql keeps only the drop of pgr_dijkstraVia coming from the generic loop.
pgr_withPointsVia and pgr_trspVia_withPoints were already split once before this pull request. Their pre 4.0 functions, _pgr_withpointsvia and _pgr_trspvia_withpoints, return the original 10 columns, and the functions introduced on the 3.x to 4.0 boundary, _pgr_withpointsvia_v4 and _pgr_trspvia_withpoints_v4, returned those same 10 columns for the 4.0 signatures. Adding pred changed the _v4 functions to return 11 columns, which breaks a database whose extension is still on 4.0.x: its SQL declares _pgr_withPointsVia_v4 with 10 OUT columns and binds it through MODULE_PATHNAME, so it reaches the 4.1 library and receives 11 values. The columns from node onwards shift by one and route_agg_cost is lost, with no error. Confirmed against a 4.0.0 extension running on the 4.1 library. This is the same problem fixed for pgr_dijkstraVia and pgr_trspVia, one generation further along. Those two had never been split, so a legacy function was enough. These two were already split, so the new column needs a third generation: * _pgr_withpointsvia_v5 and _pgr_trspvia_withpoints_v5 return the 11 columns including pred, and are what the 4.1 SQL uses. * _pgr_withpointsvia_v4 and _pgr_trspvia_withpoints_v4 return the 10 columns again, for databases still on 4.0.x. * _pgr_withpointsvia and _pgr_trspvia_withpoints are untouched and still serve databases on 3.8 and under. The SQL function names _pgr_withPointsVia_v4 and _pgr_trspVia_withPoints_v4 are deliberately left alone and now name the C symbol explicitly with the two argument form of the AS clause. Nothing disappears from pgrouting--4.1.sig, so the rule that a signature may not vanish within the same mayor version is respected. No user visible change: the documented output columns are the same on every version.
…ia-prev Brings in the 27 commits on develop, which include the new pgr_makeBiconnectedPlanar and pgr_planarFaces sources, the removal of the drivers they replace, the betweennessCentrality rework and several CI fixes. NEWS.md and doc/src/release_notes.rst take develop's side here, because develop reorganized both files: the entries now live under "4.1.0 Summary of changes by function" instead of the flat sections this branch was written against. The Via entries are restored on top of that new structure in the following commit. The two locale files also take develop's side; they are regenerated by the Update Locale workflow.
develop moved the release note entries under "4.1.0 Summary of changes by function" and renamed the flat sections, so the entries of this branch could not be merged line by line. doc/src/release_notes.rst gets back the five pieces it had: * the four include directives of pgr_dijkstraVia, pgr_trspVia, pgr_trspVia_withPoints and pgr_withPointsVia, in the summary section and in alphabetical order, as the rest of the section is, * the :issue:`3111` line in the code enhancements section, in numeric order. NEWS.md is not edited by hand. It is the output of tools/release-scripts/notes2news.pl, which is what the News_check job compares against, so it is regenerated from the release notes above. The entries describe only what a user sees, the new pred column. The internal function generations are not mentioned.

@cvvergara This is ready for another look. Since your last review, here's everything that's changed: Your three original requests — all done: Renamed prev → pred across the codebase (SQL, C, docs, tests, docqueries) A real bug found via CI after that, now fixed: Fixed by giving old and new callers separate C entry points (_pgr_dijkstravia_v4/_pgr_trspvia_v4 for the new 11-column output, legacy functions preserved for old callers) — the same pattern pgr_trspVia_withPoints/pgr_withPointsVia already used from the 3.x→4.0 boundary. The SQL function names stay unchanged (no renaming), bound to the new C symbols via PostgreSQL's explicit two-argument form, so nothing disappears from the function signature list within the same major version. Testing this further showed pgr_withPointsVia/pgr_trspVia_withPoints had the identical problem one generation later — their existing _v4 functions (introduced at the 3.x→4.0 boundary) also got the new 11-column output added directly, silently breaking any database still on 4.0.x. Fixed the same way: their _v4 functions reverted to 10 columns as the 4.0.x-era compatibility layer, and new _v5 functions carry the 11-column output for 4.1. Also fixed along the way: an overly broad version guard in build-extension-update-files.pl that was incorrectly trying to drop these functions from ancient 2.6.x sources that never had them. Branch is now current with develop (was 27 commits behind), with NEWS.md regenerated via notes2news.pl and release_notes.rst manually updated to fit develop's new section structure. Verified: full local pgtap suite (494 files, 51,666 tests, 0 failures), and the actual old-version upgrade scenario (4.0.0 → 4.1) reproduced locally and confirmed fixed, matching what CI now shows green. Let me know if anything needs a closer look. |

Hi @AdityaRanaX Thanks for the prev -> pred fix. As I mention this needs PSC meeting to see when this will go into pgrouting. I had a look, and it looks fine, but many things are happening during v4 life for example: Via functions do not have a driver/process pair they still save in memory the graph 3 times instead of 2 times. The first thing that comes to mind that you can do:

Hi @cvvergara, Thanks for taking a look, and glad the pred fix itself looks good to you. Understood on the PSC timing — that's out of my hands, happy to wait for that meeting. Good to know about the driver/process pattern and the graph being loaded 3 times instead of 2 for the Via functions — thanks for flagging that. On the deprecation approach you described — moving the old code into a separate deprecated_foo.c file, with a build-time warning for anyone still calling it after upgrading — is that something you'd like me to implement as part of this PR, or more of a general direction for how pgRouting could handle this kind of change going forward? Happy to take it on either way, just want to confirm the scope before restructuring what's already there, since it would mean splitting the old/new code into separate files and adding a new deprecation-warning mechanism that doesn't currently exist in this pattern. Let me know and I'll get started. |

Fixes #3111
This replaces #3149. That PR only added
predtopgr_dijkstraVia, and @cvvergara closed it for two reasons:*Viafunctions (pgr_dijkstraVia,pgr_trspVia,pgr_trspVia_withPoints,pgr_withPointsVia) are expected to keep matching output columns, so addingpredto only one broke that.prevcolumn to pgr_dijkstraVia result set #3149 all failed as a result.This PR fixes both.
predis now added consistently to all four functions, and I've verified everything against a real Linux build and the project's own test suite before opening this.What changed
Each of the four functions gets one new column, in the same position:
Before:
seq | path_id | path_seq | start_vid | end_vid | node | edge | cost | agg_cost | route_agg_costAfter:
seq | path_id | path_seq | start_vid | end_vid | pred | node | edge | cost | agg_cost | route_agg_costFor each function I updated: the SQL wrapper (
OUT pred BIGINT, version bump), the C driver populating the tuple, the upgrade-path generator (build-extension-update-files.pl) soALTER EXTENSION pgrouting UPDATEstill works cleanly for people on older versions,types_check.pg,via_compare.pg, the docs, and the regenerated example-query output files.The design decision for
predon points-on-edgespgr_trspVia_withPointsandpgr_withPointsViacan route through points that sit on an edge rather than a real vertex — pgRouting represents these internally with negative IDs. It wasn't obvious to me at first whatpredshould be when the previous (or first) row in a path is one of these points rather than a real node.Rather than guess, I looked at how
pgr_withPointsDDalready handles this exact situation in itspredcolumn, and followed the same convention:predholds the previous row's ID exactly as computed, negative or positive, with no special-casing. The first row of a segment getspred = start_vid, even when that segment starts at a point — same as the existing rule forpgr_dijkstraVia/pgr_trspVia(which itself followspgr_drivingDistance'spred). I checked this against real queries with negative point IDs and confirmed it behaves as expected, including the edge case where a segment starts at a point.One thing worth calling out directly: for the two
withPointsfunctions,pred's value depends on thedetailsparameter.predis thenodeof the previous row of the same path, so withdetails => truethe points passed on the way are returned as rows and can be thepredof the next row, while withdetails => falsethose points are not returned and so never appear aspred. This isn't a bug I introduced — it falls directly out of howdetailsalready works — but I wanted to flag it rather than let it get discovered later. It's documented on each function's page.Testing
I set up a full Linux (Ubuntu 22.04, WSL2) build environment specifically to close the testing gap from #3149, separate from my normal Windows dev setup. On this branch, against a clean build:
tools/testers/pg_prove_tests.sh): 494 files, 51,666 tests, 0 failures.*Viafunctions' own test directories pass, including the cross-algorithm comparison tests (via_compare.pg), which I reverted back to plainSELECT *on both sides now that all four functions share the same columns — no more explicit column pinning needed anywhere in that file.Summary by CodeRabbit
predcolumn identifying the previous node in each path segment. For the first row, it matches the starting node. With point-based functions, predecessor values for returned points depend on thedetailssetting.
