Got it, thanks!

Will this change affect the c code? I am know getting some error related to edgering. It seems there is a mismatch in the recursive query with integer and int8. I will send the exact error but it seems like the GetFace3'Edges is calling into c code.

You don't often get email from lr at pcorp.us. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>

The topology_comments.sql is autogenerated from the xml docs.



To fix it, you need to fix the references in the docs  https://git.osgeo.org/gitea/postgis/postgis/src/branch/master/doc/extras_topology.xml



e.g. I am not sure which one you are working on but for example this one if you needed the edge to be bigint



https://postgis.net/docs/manual-dev/en/ST_NewEdgesSplit.html



Need to change the input integer to bigint  and the output to bigint, though the

Thanks.



I am facing a more interesting challenge. The topology_comments.sql needs to be updated, so that it references int8 (bigint) instead of integer for a few functions that need to be updated.



How do I trigger the comment rebuild. I have been stuck on a test for over 2/3 hours cause the comment on the function no longer lines up with the new signature for the function.

For Topology we only have "regress tests", which can be run with the
regress/run_test.pl script (run with no args to get help text)

Example run of a single test from a build dir:

  ${srcdir}/regress/run_test.pl \
    --topology \
    -v \
    ${srcdir}/topology/test/regress/createtopology

You'll need to have run `make staged-install` before, for the test
script to find the postgis libraries and enabler scripts.

Makes sense.
