Fixes #7881

Description

Segmented adjacent_difference must calculate the first element of each partition from the input element and the preceding element in the overall range. Processing each partition separately instead copies the first value of a partition leading to incorrect results.

Changes

  • Apply the independent input and output partition traversal approach from equal/mismatch PR #7815 to segmented adjacent_difference.
  • Splits traversal into bounded chunks
  • The last input value from a partition is carried onto the next chunk for calculation
  • Handles empty ranges without dereferencing the end interator object
  • New tests created for the issue mentioned above

Tests

  • partitioned_vector_adjacent_difference1_test passed on one locality.
  • partitioned_vector_adjacent_difference1_test passed across two localities.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved adjacent_difference results for partitioned vectors, including across partition boundaries and when input and output use different partition layouts.
    • Corrected output-end reporting for segmented processing.
  • New Features
    • Added support for in-place processing and empty ranges with sequential, parallel, and task-based execution policies.
    • Added coverage for custom operations and differing input and output partition layouts.

The sequential and parallel segmented adjacent_difference implementations now process bounded chunks and carry the preceding input value across chunk boundaries. The change adds sequential support for an initial previous value and tests in-place, empty, and differently partitioned ranges.

Changes: Segmented adjacent difference

Layer / File(s) Summary
Previous-value sequential support
libs/core/algorithms/include/hpx/parallel/algorithms/detail/adjacent_difference.hpp, libs/core/algorithms/include/hpx/parallel/algorithms/adjacent_difference.hpp
A sequential overload accepts a previous value, initializes the accumulator from it, and processes the input range.
Sequential segmented chunk processing
libs/full/segmented_algorithms/include/hpx/parallel/segmented_algorithms/adjacent_difference.hpp
The sequential implementation processes bounded input and output chunks. It carries the preceding input value between chunks and uses captured dispatch when source and destination partition IDs differ.
Parallel segmented chunk processing and tests
libs/full/segmented_algorithms/include/hpx/parallel/segmented_algorithms/adjacent_difference.hpp, libs/full/segmented_algorithms/tests/unit/partitioned_vector_adjacent_difference1.cpp
The parallel implementation dispatches chunks asynchronously, waits for segment futures, and writes saved boundary results. Tests cover in-place, empty, and differently partitioned ranges under sequential and parallel policies.

The inspected partition-boundary paths preserve the preceding input value, and no merge-blocking issue remains after normal checks.

Pre-merge checks: Passed 5
Check name Status Explanation
Title check Passed The title clearly and concisely describes the primary change: fixing segmented adjacent_difference across partition boundaries.
Description check Passed The description directly explains the partition-boundary bug, the implementation changes, and the added test coverage.

Docstring Coverage Passed Docstring coverage is inconclusive: files from earlier reviews still need to be rechecked within the check's analysis limits. Not blocking.
Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR addresses [#7881]. The segmented implementation uses bounded input and output chunks and carries the preceding input value across chunk and partition boundaries. The sequential and parallel paths therefore calculate each later partition's first difference from the preceding overall-range value. The empty-range path avoids dereferencing the end iterator. Tests cover sequential, parallel, task, in-place, empty-range, and differing-layout cases.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within [#7881]. The added core overload supports the carried previous value. The segmented algorithm changes implement cross-partition traversal. The tests cover the affected behavior and related policy, aliasing, empty-range, and layout cases. No unrelated change is established.

@libs/full/segmented_algorithms/include/hpx/parallel/segmented_algorithms/adjacent_difference.hpp:
- Around line 172-186: In the sequential and parallel segmented
adjacent-difference loops, skip exhausted input or output partitions before
computing chunk_size: advance the corresponding segment iterator, reset its
local iterator to that partition’s beginning, and continue. Preserve the
existing chunk processing for non-empty partitions.
- Around line 216-236: Update the remote-chunk else branch in the
adjacent-difference flow to execute the sequential computation on destination_id
using its local output iterator, rather than writing each result through the
segmented output_position. Preserve the has_previous behavior and pass the
previous value when required.
