[OSRM-talk] adding way id and direction to output

[Jens Thiele]

Hi,

i want to add way id and direction (forward/backward) to the routing
output

to add the way id a simple hack is to use the id as name in the lua
profile

adding the direction (forward/backward) on each way seems extremely hard

i tried to keep track of all swaps of source/target but miserably failed
so far

i also find it very confusing where directed edges are used and where
not

the best clues i got so far are from emil's fine document
"processing-flow" in the wiki [0] but there is reads, too:
"(It's unknown why forward and backwards settings are needed here. They're
always set to the same values.)"

any help / suggestions?

greetings
Jens

PS: i wonder wether the code couldn't be simplified a lot by using
directed edges only after the extraction step
