Hi!
I am currently trying to implement a new graph type which I want to use with the BGL. The graph implements the Incidence Graph concept and should work out of the box with DFS algorithm of the BGL. However, I had to find out that the edge_descriptor must obey an EqualityComparison concept which keeps DFS from compiling. My current edge_descriptor is just a typedef to std::pair<vertex_descriptor, vertex_descriptor>. The vertex_descriptor itself is a custom object I wrote myself.
This is actually documented in the quickbook version of the documents... which are incomplete and not distributed :)
I am actually working on them today... A rare case of free time before I have to teach a class.
Another problem turns out to appear with the copy-graph algorithm. This algorithm tries to copy vertex_all-property maps and edge_all property maps which I simply do not have defined in my custom graph as I only support the vertex_index mechanism. So what to do here? How can I tell copy-graph that these maps are not existent?
Any help would be great here as I have the impression to hit limits of the documentation (the Equality-thing is not mentioned in the docs, at least I did not find it...).
I'm not particularly familiar with the inner workings of the algorithm. Do you actually need the algorithm? Most graph data structures are CopyConstructible and Assignable (Semiregular, I think). If your graphs are of the same type, you could probably use those features.
