Fixes #972 .

Adds complete Doxygen documentation (@PARAM, @throw, @return) to
get_check_data.hpp, matching the detail already present in
get_check_data.cpp. Header docs were previously limited to a single
@brief line per function.

Changes proposed in this pull request:

  • Added @PARAM tags describing each function's inputs
  • Added @return tags describing what each function returns
  • Added @throw tags documenting error conditions

@pgRouting/admins

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Replaced detailed helper-function comments with brief descriptions and noted that getText is under development, unused, and untested.
    • Updated comment formatting and corrected a comma in a documented points-query example.
    • These documentation changes do not alter function signatures or program behavior.

Walkthrough

This change revises comments for helper declarations and implementations. It also adds a missing comma to a documented points-query example. Function signatures and executable behavior are unchanged.

Changes

get_check_data documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document public helpers
include/cpp_common/get_check_data.hpp
Shortened comments for helper declarations. The getText comment now labels the function as under development, unused, and untested.
Update implementation documentation
src/cpp_common/get_check_data.cpp, src/cpp_common/pgdata_getters.cpp
Changed comment delimiters around helper documentation. Added a comma between fraction and side in the documented points query.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Suggested reviewers: cvvergara

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8e036

The updated developer documentation still contains inaccurate array-behavior and error details. The issues are limited to documentation, so the change is mergeable with bounded follow-up to correct those descriptions.

Note: the files referenced in issue #972 (get_check_data.c and
get_check_data.h) no longer exist — the project migrated this code
to C++ (get_check_data.cpp / get_check_data.hpp) after the issue was
originally opened in 2017. This PR documents the current equivalent
files, which serve the same purpose. Happy to adjust scope if a
maintainer prefers a different approach.

Fixed — converted the duplicate Doxygen-style comments in
get_check_data.cpp to plain comments (removed the extra /!/*
markers) so parameter docs aren't declared twice. Should resolve
the "multiple @PARAM documentation sections" warnings.

Hi @cvvergara — checking in on this. All CI checks are now passing
after the fixes. Let me know if anything else is needed, or if the
approach should be adjusted. Thanks for your time reviewing this!

Document the allow_empty behavior.

When allow_empty is true, get_array returns nullptr for an empty input array. The nonempty requirement applies only when allow_empty is false.

+ * @brief Returns nullptr for an empty input array when allow_empty is true; otherwise requires a nonempty array

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Correct the array-accessor Doxygen comments.

The comments for get_pgset, get_pgarray, and get_array say that failures use elog, but the implementations throw std::string. Describe the actual thrown exceptions.

The get_pgset comment also refers to nonexistent allow_empty and c_array parameters. Remove those references and document its actual behavior.
