Issue

Multiple GitHub issues have mentioned that building the planet.osm.pbf (worldwide OSM dataset) with the foot profile results in segmentation faults.

• Osrm-extract throw segmentation fault on planet by foot profile Project-OSRM/osrm-backend#6625
• assert in osrm-contract with worldwide foot profile Project-OSRM/osrm-backend#6169
• osrm-contract - planet - foot profile Project-OSRM/osrm-backend#5231

Tasklist

• CHANGELOG.md entry (How to write a changelog entry)
• update relevant Wiki pages
• add tests (see testing documentation)
  • Note: we did not add tests, but did run the tests based on the documentation to make sure they passed in 64-bit mode:

    cd osrm-backend
    mkdir -p build
    cd build
    cmake -DUSE_64BIT_IDS ..
    make tests

• review
• adjust for comments
• cherry pick to release branch

Debug mode

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

With 64-bit node and edge IDs (currently unreleased as of May, 2024: #1)

If you're trying to build the foot profile for the whole planet (i.e. using planet.osm.pbf), you'll need 64-bit IDs for the number of edges and nodes in OSRM. Otherwise, you'll get a segmentation fault.

Warning: This will cause OSRM to use more memory during osrm-extract, etc. so this is not recommended unless you absolutely need to build the foot profile for the whole planet.

mkdir -p build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DUSE_64BIT_IDS
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install
