Directly using integers as vertex or edge descriptors not a good idea - it
only works for some kinds of graphs. Also, add_vertex(3, graph) is probably
not setting an index for the new vertex since vertex indices - those values
indicate the position of the index within a vector (assuming your graph
stores vertices in a vector).

Again, I'm not sure what problem this is addressing - it's hard to see what
you're trying to do without a little code.
