Howdy,

  I am working with the boost graph library. I am performing a dfs
with a visitor that has additional state other than the visitor event
points. At the end of the traversal, my visitor loses this state. I
think this is because the visitor object is sometimes passed by
reference and sometime by value. I am running VC++ 6.0 and boost lib
1.23.0. Although I know that there are some problems with the VC6.0
compiler, I thought this problem might be something simpler (like
me) ).

My first guess is that my visitor is copied by value (either
when passed to one of the implementation calls or when it is wrapped
as a named parameter), builds state during the traversal, and then
loses this state when it is poped off the stack. The first
definition of depth_first_search_impl passes the visitor by ref but
later functions pass by value. I haven't explored this very deeply
here and I may be doing something very stupid. I am tracing this
further but since I'm new to boost, I thought some of you experts
might set me straight quicker. Has anyone had similar problems or is
this my own doing?

Thanks for any help,

Randy Henne
