- Remove PgError from file-scope imports; import it only in test module - Move HnswTypeInfo block comment to correct location (was attached to HnswNormalizeFn) - Add short one-line doc comments for the two type aliases Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…fault) Add l2_normalize_image function to normalize vectors to unit L2 norm, handling zero vectors correctly by leaving them unchanged. Add VECTOR_TYPE_INFO static initialized with the default HnswTypeInfo for vector opclasses: max_dimensions from types_hnsw, l2_normalize as the normalize function, and no check_value proc. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…Info) form_index_value / get_scan_value / max_dimensions now go through the type info instead of the vector-only paths; no behaviour change for the vector opclasses (no proc 3 -> VECTOR_TYPE_INFO). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Make form_index_value_runs_check_value_before_norm_gate discriminating by using the zero vector (norm == 0) instead of (3,4): under the correct C order (checkValue before the norm gate) the checkValue error must surface, whereas a swapped order would return Ok(None) first and fail the assertion. Add a companion test proving the norm gate itself still rejects the zero vector when type_info has no check_value (the real vector-opclass default). Also drop the redundant `use types_hnsw::HnswTypeInfo;` already covered by the pre-existing `use types_hnsw::*;` glob in utils.rs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…d divergence notes InitBuildState in C (hnswbuild.c) calls HnswGetTypeInfo, then the dimensions/ef_construction checks, and only then HnswInitSupport (the source of "missing support function 1 ..."). init_build_state called init_support (which resolves type info internally) first, inverting that error precedence; now it resolves type info directly for the checks and defers init_support until after them. get_type_info reinterpreted proc 3's Datum as a pointer with no null check and a SAFETY comment that asserted trust rather than describing C's actual (unchecked) contract; added a null check raising ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR and rewrote the comment to describe that contract and its limits. Recorded two more divergences in pgvector_hnsw's module doc: normalize callbacks take no collation (unused by every shipped implementation), and vacuum now also resolves/calls proc 3 via init_support since C's hnswvacuum only calls HnswInitSupport. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Trivial cleanup: drop a double blank line in vec.rs, remove a redundant HnswTypeInfo import and split double-statement/overlong lines in insert.rs's type_info_tests, and annotate the norm/normalize .expect() sites in insert.rs and scan.rs with why C would never hit them. Also rewrites the regression harness README: it previously claimed "all shipped features" for an argument-less run, but on this tree halfvec/sparsevec and the btree/cast/copy paths that depend on them aren't ported yet, so those upstream tests fail by design (they're the acceptance criteria for the follow-up PRs) and a full run exits non-zero. Documents the mktemp -d diff directory on FAIL and that this harness runs the unmodified upstream suite, distinct from the trimmed in-repo smoke tests under crates/contrib/pgvector/sql/.

Add tests for the l2/l1 b-tail drain and its a-longer mirror, the cmp_internal post-common-prefix branches (both longer-side and value-sign combinations), and the normalize zero-drop rebuild. Document why the normalize overflow guard is unreachable for any input (proven, and matched against C's identical isinf() dead branch) instead of forcing a test for it. Add a note on the intentional usize/i32 type split in the two-pointer merges. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements sparsevec_in/out/typmod_in/recv/send and the sparsevec(sparsevec,
integer, boolean) typmod cast, matching pgvector 0.8.5's sparsevec.c.
- sparsevec_funcs.rs: fc_sparsevec_in builds on the existing parse_sparsevec;
fc_sparsevec_out matches C's "{i+1:value,...}/dim" text format and buffer
sizing; fc_sparsevec_recv/send mirror the C wire format (dim, nnz, unused,
0-based indices, values) with the same check order (CheckDim, CheckNnz,
CheckExpectedDim, unused, per-index CheckIndex, per-value CheckElement +
zero rejection); fc_sparsevec is the typmod-cast function.
- vec.rs/sparse.rs: strtof_prefix gained a StrtofVal::Underflow variant to
capture C's `errno == ERANGE && value == 0` case (a token whose mantissa
is nonzero but rounds to 0 in f32, e.g. "1e-46"). vector_in (which only
checks isinf) treats it like Ok; sparsevec_in (which also checks
`value == 0`, sparsevec.c:308) reports it as the same out-of-range error
as overflow — this divergence between the two C functions was previously
unhandled.
- extension SQL: appended upstream's verbatim "sparsevec type" block, plus
`CREATE FUNCTION sparsevec(sparsevec, integer, boolean)` and its implicit
self-cast pulled forward from the later "sparsevec cast functions"/"casts"
sections — required for `'...'::sparsevec(N)` typmod-mismatch errors on
values that are already of type sparsevec (Postgres applies the typmod via
this cast function, not by re-invoking sparsevec_in). Task 4 must not
re-add these two statements.
- funcs.rs: made detoasted_image pub(crate) so sparsevec_typmod_in can reuse it.
- Cargo.toml/Cargo.lock: added the numutils dependency for pg_ltoa (index/dim
integer formatting in sparsevec_out).
sparsevec still FAILs overall: all I/O, typmod, and error-path lines now
match upstream test/expected/sparsevec.out; the only remaining diff is
"function/operator does not exist" for distance functions, comparison
operators, and l2_normalize — none of which are in this task's scope.

Implement vector_to_sparsevec, array_to_sparsevec, and sparsevec_to_vector (fc_vector_to_sparsevec, fc_array_to_sparsevec, fc_sparsevec_to_vector), mirroring sparsevec.c/vector.c: array handling follows fc_array_to_vector's 1-D/null/element-type checks, CheckDim/CheckExpectedDim use sparsevec.c's own checks for the two sparsevec.c-defined functions and vector.c's for sparsevec_to_vector, and CheckElement placement matches C's per-collected non-zero-value check for array_to_sparsevec (C runs no CheckElement for vector_to_sparsevec, since a stored vector's elements are already validated). Register the three functions in lib.rs::lookup and append the upstream "sparsevec cast functions"/"sparsevec casts" SQL sections (excluding the already-pulled-forward sparsevec(sparsevec,integer,boolean)/CREATE CAST (sparsevec AS sparsevec), and excluding halfvec, which does not exist on this branch yet). Verified with pgvector-regress.sh: cast fails only on halfvec lines; sparsevec fails only on undefined comparison operators/distance/norm functions (Task 5). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add the sparsevec l2/l2_squared/inner_product/negative_inner_product/ cosine/l1 distance wrappers, l2_norm, l2_normalize, and the seven sparsevec_lt..sparsevec_cmp comparison wrappers as thin layers over the Task 2 sparse.rs kernels (check_dims first on binary ops; cosine relies on cosine_similarity's built-in [-1,1] clamp; l2_normalize rebuilds a canonical full image via detoasted_image and hands it to sparsevec_l2_normalize_image, which may shrink nnz). Register the 15 new fmgr names in lib.rs::lookup. Append upstream's sparsevec functions/private functions/operators SQL blocks plus the sparsevec_ops btree opclass (skipping the hnsw opclasses and hnsw_sparsevec_support, which are Task 6) to extension/vector--0.8.5.sql.

…pe arg_vector - fc_sparsevec_recv rechecked the whole growing index prefix on every binary-format element (O(n^2)); check_index_step (sparse.rs) now checks only the newly read index against dim and the previous index, matching C's CheckIndex(indices, i, dim) exactly (same three error texts, same order). check_index is rewritten in terms of check_index_step. Binary COPY of 50 rows of nnz=16000 sparsevec dropped from 3.63s to ~0.055s. - vector--0.8.5.sql: un-hoist the sparsevec cast functions/casts (including sparsevec(sparsevec, integer, boolean) and CREATE CAST (sparsevec AS sparsevec)) back to their upstream position under the upstream section headers (type -> functions -> private functions -> cast functions -> casts -> operators -> opclasses), removing the non-upstream "pulled forward" comments. - sparse.rs: drop the unused `+ Clone` bound on check_index's iterator, clear `out` at the top of parse_sparsevec, and fix a missing blank line before SPARSEVEC_TYPE_INFO's doc comment. - funcs::arg_vector is now pub(crate) and reused from sparsevec_funcs.rs instead of being duplicated there. - Record the real DIVERGENCES in sparse.rs and sparsevec_funcs.rs: C's "safety check failed"/"correctness check failed" elog nets are unreachable here because the typed builders derive nnz and the fill loop from the same source, and array_to_sparsevec converts each element once instead of C's twice (observably identical, pure conversion).

vector_type, hnsw_vector, sparsevec and hnsw_sparsevec now pass; halfvec and hnsw_halfvec still fail outright (type not ported), and btree/cast/copy fail only on their halfvec sections now that sparsevec is ported. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…atum SparseVecView::from_payload rejected any stored sparsevec with more than SPARSEVEC_MAX_NNZ (16000) non-zeros as "corrupt sparsevec datum". In C that constant is an input limit only: sparsevec_in caps the number of parsed elements and sparsevec_recv calls CheckNnz, while array_to_sparsevec, vector_to_sparsevec and halfvec_to_sparsevec create datums with any nnz <= dim and every reader accepts them. Here 'array_fill(1.0, array[20000])::sparsevec' was produced fine and then unreadable (::text, ::vector, storing and reading back all failed). Keep the structural size check, drop the nnz cap, add a unit test. (Review follow-up; the hnsw opclasses' 1000-nnz check_value is unaffected.) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Reject negative nnz before the size calculation.
SparseVecView::nnz() casts the stored i32 to usize. For nnz = -1, debug builds panic during v.nnz() * 8. Release builds wrap the multiplication and addition, so the length check passes for a header-only payload. Later index() or value() reads then panic, while sparsevec_check_value can accept the corrupt value. Reject the raw field first.
