Summary: PF runtime: parent step produces not/wrongly sorted result
Initial Comment:
The following query returns the wrong number:
count(doc("consumer04.xml")//properties/../properties)
The reason is the parent step implementation (loop_lifted_parent_step) that
makes some assumptions that are not true (see following example).
If I run the following query with debug mask 10 I get a warning:
> echo 'count(doc("consumer04.xml")//properties/..)' | pf | Mserver --debug=10
#BATpropcheck: BAT tmpr_2464(-1332)[oid,oid] with 1156921 tuples was
incorrectly marked sorted!
#BATpropcheck: BAT tmpr_2464(-1332)[oid,oid] with 1156921 tuples remains marked
radix-clustered on 32 bits; not checked!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XQueryResult>1156921</XQueryResult>
The document consumer04.xml is linked in the XIRAF testset in the pathfinder
wiki.

Message:
Added test in
pathfinder/tests/BugTracker/Tests/parent_wrong_properties.SF-2668437.*
Fails with property error as reported.
When the sortedness property is not set
(i.e., removing "bn->tsorted = GDK_SORTED"
from pathfinder/runtime/ll_upwards.mx),
it seems to work fine --- at least there is
not property error any more --- the result
still need to be checked/verified.
However, I'm not sure whether not setting
the sortedness property is the correct solution,
since I still expect ll_parent to produce a result
with the tail values (pre/item) sorted per iter,
i.e., globally sorted with only one iter.

Message:
You're right. I keep being amazed about some parts of the language design.
I understand the logic behind it, but for me, it is quite counter-intuitive
that preceding::foo[1] and (preceding::foo)[1] count the foo-elements in
opposing directions.

Message:
Maurice, you are wrong here---all steps are supposed to return their result
in document order.
Reverse document order only plays a role in positional predicates, please
read http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery/#dt-predicate.

Message:
Just to be sure, backward axes need to produce their results in REVERSE
document order. So I expect the result of PFll_parent to be first ordered
on iter and then descending on pre.

Message:
I assume, that it is not the properties that are set incorrectly --- the
result of PFll_parent is supposed to be ordered on [iter,pre], i.e., with
only one iter this also means that it is sorted in pre --- hence, I suspect
that either the ll_upwards implementation itself is wrong in this case,
since is produces an obviously not sorted pre column, or is is working on
inconsistent data/input due to a previous bug elsewhere, and hence, works
incorrectly ...
... also getting Peter as original author of the ll_upwards code involved
