hi Steve,
How can i test run and debug my code using postgres. Now i am running the test code on a sample network data file using a program to read input and feed data.
Should i commit my code in the repository fork i have created?
Now I am working on the first version of bi-directional using two STL priority queue.
Regards,

There are two ways to debug code in postgresql. I have only used the first so I'm not sure that I can help much on the second.
1. add debug output from the C code
* change to the trsp branch
* cd /extra/trsp/src
* vi trsp.c and search for DBG(
* add the following to your code
//#undef DEBUG
#define DEBUG 1
#ifdef DEBUG
#define DBG(format, arg...) \
elog(NOTICE, format , ## arg)
#else
#define DBG(format, arg...) do { ; } while (0)
#endif
Then you can add DBG(format_string, args,...) to you code. When you run you code from psl or pgadmin it will display the NOTICE messages.
2. there is a way to start postgresql up in single user mode in gdb and you can set break points in your functions. I'm guessing that you then connect with psql and issue your query from another shell and you should get a break at your break points and can then step through the code in gdb. Like I said, I have not done this. When we did trsp we verified that the algorithm was correct using a test program like you have done, then we only need to debug the SQL fetching data and passing it to the function in the same way the test program passed data.
2. Should i commit my code in the repository fork i have created?
Yes, and post a note with the url to browse the code and ask for a review. You should consider the review input, but feel free to defend you position if you feel good about your code. Ultimately, it is your project so you need to move forward to meet your goals. If people make good comments you are free to accept them and incorporate them or to ignore them.
Now I am working on the first version of bi-directional using two STL
priority queue.
Great, I look forward to see how that is going. It is Friday so don't forget to get your status report updated for this week.
Thanks,
-Steve
