[pgrouting-users] How many people use the wrapper functions?

[Pavel Iacovlev]

I don't, probably for the same reasons, if you need to use/swap
multiple algorithms using wrapper functions can get really tricky.

With the amount of helper functions current available (astar example)
astar_sp
astar_sp_bbox
astar_sp_bbox_directed
astar_sp_delta
astar_sp_delta_cc
astar_sp_delta_cc_directed
astar_sp_delta_directed
astar_sp_directed
it's just easier to lean the API, and there are great examples in the
workshop to do so.
